Took a quick tour, and really enjoyed the tour guide who stayed in character the whole time and was very informative. The grounds are beautiful and the building is well preserved.

Before the tour I thought Tryon was the original building. The ladies who spearheaded the re-building of this wonderful historic building just proves the power of strong women with a mission. I think I was just as impressed with the re-building as the site itself.

Tryon Palace is not as old as looks like but an excellent way to present history. Our tourguide was very knowledgeable. The surrounding gardens are a must see specially the kitchen garden. Together with the three houses in the vicinity well spent money. We enjoyed it very much.
