Sam Davis Home

This is one of the more informative tours I’ve been on. It wasn’t just a quick run through. We went on the guided tour with a field trip group. Our tour guide was an older gentleman wearing time period clothing. He took us first out to the cotton fields and not only let us look but touch the plants to see if we could find any buds. After that, we went inside a log cabin where he explained the process of making things with cotton and what it was like to work in the fields. The tour through the house was a bit rushed because of another tour group and we missed a lot of what the guide was saying during that time because we ended up in the back of the group. I do not recommend bringing a toddler on the guided tour as they ask you to sit still for long periods of time. My son and another toddler got antsy and my husband took him outside to play on the grounds while my daughter and I finished up the tour. At the end they have a short film about Sam Davis and it ends right near the gift shop. Gifts were affordable. Normally you see things 3−4x normal cost at gift shops but it was definitely reasonable. To be honest, I didn’t know a lot about the life of Sam Davis. I have a lot of respect for someone that would rather give up their life than to betray a friend. He was a true patriot.
