Pretty cool museum that I needed to visit to complete my Trailquest, but it was definitely worth the visit. The Museum is in a stone Victorian home. Learned a little history about Big Stone Gap. Also the scenery outside the museum is beautiful also.
Very nice museum on the days of coal mining in SW VA.
Wow! What a treasure! Do not miss this if you’re in the area. What an amazing collection of historical information, artifacts, not to mention an awesome gift shop. The story of Big stone Gap is incredible and this is the place to mark off a couple of hours to soak it all in. The Ranger at the front desk, Sara, was a true font of information and delightful to talk to. take time to walk around the outside of the building and check out the property inside the wall.
House from 1880's now aa museum showing items of their era. Nicely done on three floors with many interesting artifacts. There was some history of the area and coal mining development shown. Worth a look if you are in the area.
