Museum of the Appalachia

We spent a day at the Museum of the Appalchia and it was great. Highly recommended for all. It's on 60 acres and has lots of little out-buildings that have been authenticated & brought in log by log and rebuilt. We both enjoyed it very much.




















I was fascinated with this cabin. They had it on the grounds & it was so tiny from the outside but when you looked inside, it wasn't bad at all. And like the man said "big enough for a cot, a chair, and a little stove, and my fiddle - what more does a man need"!
This is truely one of John's relations who lived here in Tennessee. We were surprised to see the picture on the Museum wall.

This is a 'baby peacock. They were so fast & kept hiding in the undergrowth. I had to be quick and of course Mama was right there, too. I wasn't quite sure what she would do if I got too close!








There were lots of peacocks running around & they were very, very noisy. This one fellow spread his tail feathers only once while we were there. Luckily I got the picture. Some folks after us waited & waited & watched, but he never spread them again.







Struttin' his stuff!







At rest - I wonder if those feathers are heavy??
