    Fascinating look at mountain life

    Kimberly_L, Jul 2025
    This was an interesting look at the ingenuity and perseverance of the people who carved out a life in this area. We learned so much from the indoor museum and outdoor exhibits. The museum had lots of hands-on things for kids to do. It's a great place for families to come, and a nice gift shop, too.

    Amazing

    How they settled and lived in the area of where their house was. The work that had to be done before mealtime and bedtime.

    Great learning experience
