Settlers Museum Attractions in Smyth County VA

Settlers Museum of Southwest Virginia

The Settlers Museum of Southwest Virginia is a 67 acre open-air museum that tells the story of the people who settled in the mountains of Virginia and how its unique culture was developed. The Migration Story of the people who came to these mountains in the mid-1700s is a tale of two groups, the Scotch-Irish and the Germans, who carved their farms from the wilderness and formed the mountain culture. ​The farm, with its restored farmhouse and nine preserved outbuildings, has the look and feel of a farm from 100 years ago. Visitors will find the crops of that time period and interpreters demonstrating typical farm activities.
