Rural Life In Appalachia
Down this path you will find buildings,
farm implements and other displays that
document rural life in Appalachia over
a period of about 100 years. Most were
restored and arranged here during the
1940s and 1950s.
These displays illustrate aspects of
mountain life that were colorful but not
unique to Appalachia. If you grew up
in other areas of rural America, you
may recognize some of the things you
encounter.
Marker can be reached from Blue Ridge Parkway (at milepost 176).
