Appalachian Hall of Fame

Museum of Appalachia, Norris, Tennessee:

This magnificant old building houses the Appalachian Hall of Fame. It contains numerous displays devoted to relics belonging to notable, historic, famous, interesting, colorful and unusual folk from the surrounding region. Also on display are hundreds of early hand-made musical instruments, an extensive Indian artifact collection, and dozens of other exhibits.

I have spent hours in this building, loved every minute of it, and still needed more time. If this were the sum total of the Museum of Appalachia, it would be worth the admission price - but there is MUCH more to see in this amazing museum.
