What visitors say
Went as a group of 4-H all Stars. The guide was very knowledgeable. He showed us besides the museum there was the Mary Draper Ingles gardens plus a lookout of the railroad line. Nice giftshop.
Wonderful experience here. Very true to the period with many original pieces. Restored beautifully. Our docent had actually been in the home several times as a young girl. We were the only two for that tour so got some personal…
We had an unbelievable guide Sharon Taylor she was so knowledgeable and very welcoming. My girls loved her and very rich history. We will visit again in the future. Thank you Sharon 🙏🏽♥️
