The
Rural Life Museum is
housed in the Montague Building on the campus of Mars Hill College, and is dedicated to preserving mountain
farm and craft culture. It focuses on Pre-Industrial Appalachia as well as the
Industrial period that followed, with depictions of hearth and home, exhibits of
farm and craft implements, and historic photographic murals. An exhibit honoring
the Hooked-Rug Industry, which existed in Madison County and other parts of
Western North Carolina, is one of the museum’s most fascinating displays.
