What visitors say
Amazing people and heritage. A ton of Appalachian history here.
This place is definitely worth a stop. So much history to see and the folks who run it are very knowledgeable and friendly. Around an hour for a complete tour and being able to see everything.
Very informative guided tour! Two floors worth of exhibits. Very good value as it was only a $5.00 admission fee. Very well worth it! The tour was approximately 1 hour long.
