Swain County Heritage Museum

After our visit to the Cat Museum we checked into our motel and headed in to town. We ate a yummy lunch at Jimmy Mac’s, and spent some time checking out the town. We finished up the day at the Swain County Heritage Museum, which really was one of the best local history museums I have ever visited. We didn’t even have an hour to check it out by the time we got there, but what we did get to see about the history of Bryson City and the rest of the county was interesting.

There were some really interesting exhibits of different tools used by various professions around the area, including this one from the shoemakers
