While you're here
The museum shop
Now inside the main museum building at 218 Mercer Street — no tour needed to shop. Books, prints, and unique, affordable gifts. Members get a discount.
Tuesday – Saturday, 1–4 p.m.
The Weavers Cabin
At Mercer and Spring Streets, almost directly across from the Harmony Inn. Drop in, hear the history of weaving and spinning, watch the looms at work, and buy something handmade to take home. Hours are posted on the weavers' Facebook page.
The walking tour
Most of the historic buildings in town are privately owned, but you can still walk past every one of them and read what happened there. Twenty minutes for the town center, two hours for the full loop.
