Museum of Ashe County History

Very nice museum. A lot of great local history. Must see.

A very diverse assemblage of artifacts and items of historical significance. I especially enjoyed the diorama with the train. The lady in the gift shop was very friendly. A great place to spend an hour or two and learn about Ashe county. Lots of books and other things for sale.

Visitors have the opportunity to learn the history of Ashe County. Displays are very informative.

Love this place, very nice staff that talk to you like family. The museum itself is really cool! I enjoyed the Ore Knob Mine exhibit the most, they even had a detailed model of the mine and artifacts from the mine. The gift shop is huge and I even got a book about the Ore Knob Mine that was written by a local author. Highly recommend to people visiting or who have recently moved here and want to know more of the towns history.

I recently had the privilege to go to the Ashe Museum and was amazed at the awesome displays and treasure trove of interesting books and artifacts. The staff were very courteous and helpful. My visit was for business purposes and brief but I certainly plan to return when I have more time to spend. I could spend many delightful hours there walking through the past!

Great place to go too

Fun little historical place. The miniature train village was a bit with the kid! The moonshine still site and the mining site were well put together. Great free activity with a gift shop.

Wonderful place. Staff was excellent. Train is such a beautiful thing to enjoy. Just excellent

Very nice small museum, lots of Ashe County history on display. The docent volunteer was so nice and shared an amazing amount of history that he knew. Great for folks interested in North Carolina mountain history. Great visit!

Rich, emersive, and definitely worth a stroll though to learn some great history of the local area and our country. Heritage is laden here, just walk outside and stroll through the victory garden, a tradition old ad the country itself

Nice place to learn about local history. Glad that the building was preserved.

The dioramas are superb and the details on the info panels are very interesting to read.

Wonderful experience learning about Ashe County. Highly recommend.

Good to see and know some hx of this area of the state.

Interesting pace. It was a nice place to take the kids on their summer break for cheap. All they did was just asked for a donation of any size, and with five kids that really helped

It was grate you will just have to see for yourself

Great place to go if youd like to know a little local history. The staff there is well knowledge and helpful. Great place to take the family.

I took my grandsons here and they really enjoyed it. The train and replica of Ashe County is amazing. We will definitely be back.

The museum is small but set up very well. The staff at the time we visited were very helpful. Displays are set up professionally. I highly recommend a visit to the museum.

Its a nice place to go BUT, when I tried to donate some pristine copies of 50s & 60s Life magazines, they turned me down. I dont understand why.....

Wonderful place to visit and learn about Ashe County, NC history, great learning experience from the many displays and lots of information from every era since it was founded.

What a wonderful surprise! Tons of information and exhibits of Ashe County and the staff are very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. A true treasure you must check out!

Wonderful slice of history. Just the nicest people. Dont miss it

Very interesting museum all about local history. The museum is free but, they do have a box for cash donations. The museum is located in the old county courthouse building. Exhibits are on the first floor only. The upper floor(s?) are undergoing restoration. Well worth a visit!! Check out the photos. With this review. They also have a gift shop with many reasonably priced items.

This is actually the old courthouse of Ashe county. There are some very interesting and historical artifacts in this building. If youre interested in the history of small towns this is a great place to check into.
