Review from Charlie F.

If you are a fan of the Andy Griffith show, the Museum is a must see. From the TV series are the doors to the court house, sets of keys to the jail doors, and Andy's desk. Clothing worn by Andy, Barney & Otis are on display, as well as many mementos of Andy's Griffith's career on stage, tv, and movies.
Outside is the statue of Andy & Opie heading to the fishin' hole, a gift from the TVLand channel.
The museum itself isn't very large, and unless you absorb every photo and piece of memorabilia a visit won't take too long. Admission is $3, and not only gets you into the Andy Griffith Museum, but also entry into a Siamese Twins exhibit on the property and the Earle Theater on Main St.
Only thing I didn't appreciate is the NO PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEO policy in the museum. I fail to understand why they have this policy. -

Second stop on our road trip in Nov '07. Had the pork chop sandwich, now we wanted to see what the Andy Griffith museum held. Located in a downstairs room, almost as an afterthought it seemed.
No photos were allowed inside. Bits and pieces, costumes, letters, record albums, etc. from the life of Andy Griffith. This was not just about Mayberry RFD . One item I enjoyed seeing was an old wooden rocking chair that Andy was rocked in as a baby. They don't make furniture like that anymore!
The best thing tho was a beautiful statue out in front of the Playhouse/ Museum. Andy & a barefoot Opie walking hand in hand, immortalized in bronze, fishing poles in hand. Can't you just hear the Mayberry theme song whistling on the wind?! -

I went here a couple years ago and think that this is a must see for those Andy Griffith fans. We were able to see a good amount of memorabilia. The staff was very nice.Not sure if they were just glad to see someone come in or what.This is a kind of Sleepy town.If your real quiet you might hear someone whistling the theme song to Mayberry R.F.D. This is not high end museum, but like I said, worth the stop off the road. Oh they do have a bathroom there.
