Pioneer Village & "Old Ways" Demonstrations
Pioneer Village is a replica of just how the ole mountain towns used to be. A mercantile store with products and goods that only your grandmother might recognize. An old, one room schoolhouse, a log home with furnishings just like it was in the 1800's, a smoke house, barn and corn crib are just like it was then. "Old Ways" Demonstrations will take you back to the "old ways" as local folks show how "moonshine" was made...corn milling...shake making... cider squeezing...pork skin frying...quilting...black smithing...soap & hominy making and more!
