Inadvertently posted this twice. This is a hidden gem. There is an old manor house from the early 1800s that was owned and added to by a single family over 6+ generations before they sold the place as a museum. The museum is stuffed with period artifacts and farm equipment that was part of the estate or which have been donated to the museum in the last 30 years. Multiple original outbuildings with additional furnishings and equipment essential to life over the centuries. There is a fascinating room in the main house dedicated to women's life and suffrage drawn directly from the history of the area. No fee to enter, but donations are gratefully accepted. The only downside was that the introductory movie wasn't working this day, so we missed a little of the context of the property and the town as a bridgehead to the western frontier and the cumberland gap. THIS IS IMPORTANT, YOU NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO VISIT. The woman who manages the museum is very accommodating, just text or email her in advance to arrange a time and she acts as a guide as well. If you are staying in one of the state parks in western virginia, put this one your day trip lists. Takes about 90 minutes.
