MUSEUM OF NORTH CAROLINA HANDICRAFTS



I like this shot Jamie took of the Shelton House. The official North Carolina Museum Of Handicrafts. Here is the description: The Shelton House was built in 1875 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum features comprehensive exhibits of 19th Century crafts and furniture. Artists who have participated in the North Carolina State Fair’s Village of Yesterday have a selection of crafts displayed. There is also a fine collection of Native American artifacts. The museum collection includes hand-woven coverlets, quilts, sculptured porcelain, dulcimers and masterpieces of pottery work. It's only a few blocks from our house in Waynesville. Well worth the trip if you are in the area.
