Southwest Virginia Museum Cottage

The Southwest Virginia Museum features a collection comprised of more than 20,000 pieces, about a third of which are on display at any given time. The museum chronicles the exploration and development of the region during the 1890s coal boom, as well as the pioneer period. It offers activities for kids, scout and school programs, workshops, an annual Festival of Trees program, a quilt show, a music festival and outdoor exhibits.
