The Southwest Virginia Museum is housed in a mansion originally built in the 1880s. The exhibits showcase the development of Big Stone Gap beginning in the late 1870s when northern businessmen dreamed of turning the tiny village of Big Stone Gap into the Pittsburgh of the South. Exhibits chronicle the coming of the railroad, the development of the mining industry, and the lives of many prominent local citizens.
