Interesting mineral museum with teaching displays. Plus historical references. Staff was friendly and willing to answer your questions about mining, the general area, and other helpful information concerning the many nearby points of interest.

Since it is state run and they cannot update their hours they were closed when we got there. They open at 10:00 not 9:00 like the website says. So I can't actually say that we enjoy the place. But there are great hiking spots that launch from this place

Small, free museum that is an excellent choice for a brief stop off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Good balance of social and geological history to satisfy different interests.
