    Museum Quality Crafts and Art
    A wide range of arts and crafts from local artists. We watched a wonderful broom making demonstration and then roamed through galleries showcasing beautiful handmade quilts, ceramics, and paintings. Prices are not cheap but, the quality of the art demands fair equity. Definitely worth visiting!

    Very Enjoyable
    This is a wonderful Folk Art Center and Museum. There were wonderful crafts for sale that followed traditional arts and craft traditions of yesteryear. They also had many historical examples of Appalachian arts and crafts, as well as, a wonderful library. I would love to visit in the Spring/Summer, when I believe more demonstrations would be available.
