Crab Orchard Museum

I learned so much about early life in Tazewell County, VA at the museum. I lived here for many years and still discovered a lot of things. The area saw a lot of farming and coal mining over the years. The museum just opened the Corn Maze for the fall and it is in the pattern of a quilt, one of the many local handicrafts you see in the museum. The outside has an early village with buildings for cooking, curing meats, cold storage, corn cribs, metal working, and shoe making. Absolutely worth the $5 admission!

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
