Open-air museum of Appalachian log cabins, craft demonstrations and heritage gardens — ideal for documenting vernacular architecture, textures (wood, stone, textiles) and seasonal mountain foliage. Visit early morning or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; autumn yields peak color. Parking on-site; check seasonal hours and entry fees. Many buildings are small/low-ceilinged and partially accessible — be respectful during demonstrations and ask before photographing people.
