Restaurant and staff are wonderful. Gift shop has lots of unique items. The museum has lots of artifacts and structures, with their personal stories of ownership. Thank you for all your hard work!Upvote1Downvote
Dorothy EldridgeOctober 15, 2016The cafe is like eating at your grandmother's house. They have a different special for lunch everyday. Choose one meat, two sides for $6.99.Upvote2Downvote
Diane WonchMay 2, 2017Love this historical and informational environment! A most special component of this site is the focus on the human story. Felt like we met some of these families through the stories that were told.UpvoteDownvote
Erica AppelNovember 30, 2013Definitely a lot of history to see and read about inside and outside. Pick a clear dry day to truly experience the environment. Also, I recommend having lunch in the cafe while you are there.UpvoteDownvote- Smithsonian ChannelJune 23, 2011This Smithsonian Affiliate preserves the ways and works of Tennessee’s mountain peoples with 30 historic structures, each overflowing with everything from folk art to firearms.
