Fun at the Museum of Appalachia


H. Harrison Mayes, folk artist,
and the Museum of Appalachia

I loved this place! The photo above is part of a display of H. Harrison Mayes' folk art. The Museum of Appalachia has many exhibits, including actual houses, barns, animals, pottery, tools, and SO much more to see.

I have more photos I will post soon. The Museum of Appalachia is located in Clinton, Tennessee. I have their official website listed below.

The links show all the wonderful exhibits you can see here. It's a really fun walk and you can see a LOT of different things. I would go back in a second. It was really fun.
