We stopped here to do research on my paternal families and were highly impressed with the breadth of the resources they provide, the organization of them and the incredible personal help they provide. In addition they have a lot of general information about how the region was settled, by whom and when. If you are a history buff this is a must stop.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 95 reviews
The First Lady's birthplace museum at her childhood home speaks to the life of one of the most influential, controversial, and politically significant women of the 20th Century. Edith Bolling [Galt] Wilson was not only the First Lady of President Woodrow Wilson, but was also a descendant of Pocahontas, and related to Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, J.E.B. Stuart, and Robert E. Lee. The Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum houses artifacts, furniture, books, letters, photographs, and documents owned by Mrs. Wilson or donated by family members and friends. The second floor Bolling home is located above the Museum. While many historians have referred to Mrs. Wilson as "The Secret President" because of her role in our country's history during President Wilson's debilitating stroke in 1919, there is much more to this story. Please visit to learn more about First Lady Edith Bolling Wilson, from her birth and her incredible journey from Wytheville to the White House and beyond.

Take the time to visit this museum, the only one in America that is dedicated to this remarkable First Lady. Although I am a Canadian, I would strongly encourage everyone (especially Americans) to visit this museum to learn more about Edith Bolling Wilson. The brief video presentation is worth the watch, and the historical materials are extremely interesting. Note, the second floor is under renovation and is being restored to its' original glory. We were able to tour this, and it is astounding to see where Edith was born and raised...the original flooring, wallpaper, fireplace etc. It is a step back in time!

This is a good size antique mall with over 100 dealers. The main aisles were wide and clear and there were only a couple of cluttered booths. All the others were very well organized, room to move around, and you could see everything in the booth without having to move items. You can find small collectibles, pottery, furniture, books/magazines/comic books, musical items, NASCAR items, mountain crafts, advertising, country items, toys, lighting, art, vintage clothes/jewelry, glassware, cookie jars, kitchenware, china and much more. They also offer a snack center. I walked out with some small items to add to my collections.
