Museum of Appalachia
Event Details:
Craftsmanship that is now considered an art form, was originally fashioned out of someone’s sense of need. The simple Appalachian folk had to make do, and from their humble beginnings, they were able to develop some truly artistic techniques. At the Marketplace authentic mountain artisans still demonstrate these crafts and may be found, working at ease in the bucolic setting, seated in and around the Museum’s early log cabins, or under the quaint, tin roofed sheds, specifically built for the Homecoming.
