An interesting museum about tobacco, it’s cultivation and industrialization after the Civil War. Some mention was made at end about how it has harmed countless lives and the appropriation of Indians and their symbols. At the end of the day, the harm outweighs the few benefits, but the museum does help point out all those impacted in supply chain by major changes in view towards tobacco.

The tour is free. They did not mention a fee, however there is a donation box in the front entrance. Because the docent spent 45 min with just my wife and I on a cool weekday we left a $10 donation. The tour, museum and movie were worth it.
