Christian Bookstore

Uhhhhh? I don’t know what is more strange… the rude lady who works the front counter or the scientific inaccuracies that flood their «creation museum.»
Jehovah’s Witnesses training camp?

If you’re into roadside weirdness, the NC Museum of Creation, Taxidermy Hall of Fame of North Carolina, and Antique Tool Museum housed within this Christian bookstore in downtown Southern Pines is definitely worth a trip. I can’t speak for the fudge (which looked delicious) and I can’t speak for the supposedly preachy employees (they didn’t seem to care that we were there) but I can talk to the taxidermy.
I don’t care about Creationism. I’m clueless about antique tools. I do, however, love bad taxidermy. The thing about the NC Museum of Creation, Taxidermy Hall of Fame of North Carolina, and Antique Tool Museum is that not all the taxidermy is bad. Some of the bears, wolves, and foxes are well done. The bobcats and roadkill beaver, though, are a different story. See attached.
Next time you’re looking for something fun to do in Southern Pines, give this place a shot. At the very least, it’ll give you something to talk about.

Hey I just figured that someone who is normal should give a review as well. I’ve been to this store many times and taken family and friends to check it out. First of all I don’t recall any shrines to any of the Bush family or Ronald Reagan when I was there. It’s unfortunate that people from New York have to come down to the South to get away from their crazy cities to get a glimpse of reality! I suggest next time to lay off the «sauce» before you take a tour of something this inspirational and moving. I applaud the efforts of the store owners to present truth in such an interesting and novel way. There are plenty of museums around that like to present a distorted view of our origins on this planet and it is a breath of relief to finally see someone give the accurate account instead.

Now, I may have not been in a lot of Christian Bookstores in my time, but I am absolutely sure that this one tops them all! And by not a lot of Christian Bookstores, I mean I’m completely not religious in any way.
That said, I’d really like to congratulate and applause the Christians that created this store and evolved it to it’s current state, BUT since they don’t really believe in evolution, I guess I can’t.
Seriously people, if you have ever desired to eat awesome homemade fudge, see crazy dead animals in weird positions, be preached at for being a non God fearing individual and relish in viewing homemade shrines to George Bush Senior, George W & Ronald Regan, than this is the place for you! It’s unbelievable.
There’s one part of the underground museum, where you can look up and see about 100 rusty antique tools hovering on the ceiling, peering down at you. At that moment is when I usually think to myself, «Hmmm… Maybe this is a trap for us Atheists and they’re about to close us into a cage and drop these creepy tools on us and then bury our bones with their weird Crystal Oozy.» (If you go into their museum, you’ll see their weird analogy about a crystal oozy in a desert, referring to believers & non-​believers.) But the horror and terror of this awesome museum is what keeps me coming back for more!
If you happen to be in Southern Pines, NC, you’ve got to go down to Broad Street and check this place out! You won’t be disappointed.
