"Exciting and Informative"
I have been to theis museum and it takes you back to the indian days and then right up to the coal mining and into the future. I enjoy looking at all the things they have here and enjoy the atmosphere. The grounds are very well kept and clean and all the log homes on the outside are so interesting to look in, to know how the early settlers lived. It's a good plave to take children as well as grown ups. It can interest any age, I think it's wonderful. It's a place you keep going back to.

"Fun with the Family"
This historical museum and five-acre pioneer settlement is the region's cultural museum. It tells the story of the area's earliest Native American inhabitants and those who came after them, through the periods of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Costumed interpreters interact with visitors and provide information about the pioneer lifestyle. Included among the exhibits in the museum are rare maps from the colonial period, the 400-million-year-old remains of a woolly mammoth, and beadwork and weapons of the Native Americans who first settled the region. Special living-history events are held in the spring and on Appalachian Independence Day (July 4.) Pioneer Park has fifteen original buildings dating back to 1802.
