Last minute change to schedule led us was here. What a place! This was really one of the high points of our daily excursions from Clarkesville. If you like history and don't mind walking, you will be richly rewarded from this stop.

My husband bought me the whole set of Foxfire books when we first married. It had been a dream of mine to visit the museum. We finally got to go and what a treat! I loved that it was a hike through the woods to each stop. This is not handicap friendly, so keep that in mind if coming here. The history is so unique. We went on a rainy, foggy day and it made for a beautiful walk. We saw weavers demonstrating their skill in the Tiger cabin. Overall, a great place! I would recommend stopping by.

Really neat place. Leave about two hours to amble through all there is to see. The displays are very professionals and really interesting. The staff is also really great. If you’re in the area it’s well worth a visit.

The walking tour was really nice and the group of volunteers were the best. The cabins held all kinds of interesting stories.

Wonderful look back at life and farm days. Uphill walking, not for ones with walking issues. You can drive to the top and stop at each site. The dirt/ gravel road is a little steep.

Me, my husband and my two labs thoroughly enjoyed walking the trail and being transported back in time. The audio that we were able to access with our cell phones was amazing. If you are a history buff, I highly recommend visiting this gem.

A fascinating view of local history and daily life portrayed in buildings handmade or reconstructed by local students under the tutelage of experienced elders. The stories shared here bring to life the way our ancestors lived and survived on this land. A beautiful location off the road to Black Rock Mountain brings a real feel of actual conditions and environment. Local artisans display their talents at weaving, broom making, and blacksmithing. An easy walk through this rural village will inform and enlighten and intrigue. Add this to your list of must do’s when in the Georgia Mountains!

Very interesting and educational activity. Walking is required but not difficult unless disabled. This is how our Appalachian ancestors lived, and many others live today usually by choice. Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm glad we took the time to visit.

Is it ok to have pets on the outdoor paths?

I wouldn’t think so. When we were there I noticed dogs in cars while the owners were on the trails. If in doubt I would contact them.
