Reviews of Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center
"I just spent 2 enjoyable hours wandering the museum, watching the short video and walking around and/or in the historic buildings. Lots of history of first the native Americans (on the museum part) and then settlers who toiled to make this area home. It really makes you appreciate being born in this current time. The also have an old car/buggy/cart/sled/etc section in a connected side building. Well worth the $12 admission"
"A great experience. There are several preserved homesteads from the Smoky Mtns. The homes were relocated here and preserved. Many indian artifacts and a good way to step back in time and pay respect to how people lived a hundred years ago. A must stop for someone interested in the history of the area."
"Ticket over priced. Expected more artifacts in the museum. Restorations done in modern way not to look the way would have in the time built. Saw mill is amazing and the tragonia elm tree is one of a kind . Staff extremely nice."
"You must visit! Wonderful nicely restored and furnished original cabin and building structures. The museum is very interesting. We bought $189 artwork there that we love of the smokey mountains and t-shirts. The Native America museum section is excellent and very interesting. Support this wonderful non-profit by a short drive from Gatlinburg to visit in Townsend."
