There were nearly 100 hand made quilts on special/seasonal display! These were all well displayed in an air conditioned environment....and close enough to see every stitch.
4 floors of displays depicting the early days of the settlers and travelers through Big Stone Gap. Many stayed to work in the coal mines and many continued their journey through the Cumberland Gap....

The coal-mine country exhibits are spread throughout the house's many rooms, and give a good feel for yesteryear in SW Virginia.
