Reviews
"Such a well put-together museum that captures the exciting history of the region throughout its various eras. Special collection of literature is wonderful as well."
"Really great museum!! Staff is awesome, was not crowded, so much thought put into everything."
"I toured this facility with a non-profit group, and we had a great time. The director gave an educational speech, the art on the third floor of the building was beautiful, and I liked the Dolly Parton exhibit dress as well as the older artifacts. We’ll go again sometime."
"Really a fantastic little Museum, very well organized, not overwhelming, you can get through it in about 45 minutes so you don't start to phase out. A lot of interesting information and displays, definitely learned a few new things. Admission was 10 bucks which I think is reasonable. Only issue for me was all the audio displays were not functioning unfortunately. Would have liked to have heard some of the dialects and a few other facts offered through audio. By the way if you have any history in the area, I highly recommend going up to the third floor archives, they are extensive and the reference people are very helpful."
"Very well presented museum! A wonderful historical collection!"
