Anna HarveySuch a cool spot tucked away in the mountains. There’s a marked trail and you can go around and see all the cabins and their displays. I had the pleasure of meeting Sharon and learning about her loom. She makes beautiful handmade towels you can buy. The ladies in the front office were so lovely and provided a brief history. I really enjoyed it!

Loretta DivineExcellent living history museum with authentic restored buildings from the region, 1800's to early 1900's. Folk artists demonstrate crafts, music, etc. Classes available. The walking trail for the museum is only a half mile, well groomed, but it is quite hilly. We were glad we brought our walking sticks. Picnic tables, rest rooms available by the visitors center (Mercantile). There are also picnic tables and a picnic pavilion on the grounds.Friendly helpful staff. Allow at least 1-2 hours for visit. Last entry is at 3 pm. We got there 11 am and didn't leave until 3 pm. It's not too far from Clayton, Georgia.

Melissa LynWhat a great place. There were so many buildings to explore. The grounds are beautiful but a hike. Lots of climbing up hill. Se stopped and had a picnic lunch in their pavilion.

Kaelah GlottFascinating museum full of history. Quite educational and all staff was welcoming and informative. Hands on, go at your own pace, and a lovely variety. Plenty of walking, but that adds to the feel and gives a better perspective on how times have changed.
