Museum, History & Culture in the Mountains

History was my favorite subject in school, the study of how we became who we are today. The history of the Blue Ridge, Appalachian and Smoky Mountains is facinating. Take some time to read a little about how these mountains were established and became the great mountains they are today. We will be adding to this section as we can, so check back to see what is new.
