Foxfire Museum and Collections

The Museum is housed in a small cabin, built with student help, in Mountain City, GA. The cabin contains some 150 artifacts and crafts of early Appalachian life. It includes sections on toys, wagons, cabin-building tools, blacksmithing instruments, woodworking tools, handmade items, household items, logging tools, shoemaking equipment, animal trapping and hunting equipment, and farm and agricultural equipment. It also houses a gristmill, a one-room cabin, and a gift shop filled with folk art, handcrafted items, and publications including books in the Foxfire series. The Museum allows visitors to imaginatively re-create the works and days of southern Appalachian people. By encountering residents' first-hand stories and the tools and tangible remnants of those early days, you'll find the real Appalachia, and also an appreciation for the difficulty and hardships of the life and the dignity of work well done.
