Boone County Historical Museum
"Hickory Ridge History Museum, in the heart of Boone, NC, consists of 6 historic log cabins complete with authentic furnishings and artifacts set in Daniel Boone Park. Each cabin represents an aspect of life in the High Country in the 18th century. Period-dressed historians guide guests on a tour back in time. Open April through mid-November, hours vary so check the website. There is a small fee to help maintain and renovate these historic structures. Hickory Ridge is adjacent to the outdoor drama, "Horn in the West". The museum complements the historic drama, which depicts settlers during the War for Independence who escape to the Blue Ridge Mountains to preserve their freedom."

Our family of six really loved this little place. Often times, historical villages are made great by their interpreters, and this one was no exception. I wish we’d gotten his name, but he is a recent grad of Appalachian State is now working on his graduate degree in Public History and his passion is clear. I just love it when people find their vocations and live them. This guy is so knowledgeable. I love history and I happen to teach college, and I learned quite a bit from his tour. I highly recommend making a visit here, and then maybe pop over to another local place, maybe Blowing Rock, for a snack or lunch, and hike some trails. Makes for a great day.
Very informative tour $5-45mins led by a guide dressed in revolutionary attire. We visited in the off season so no actors in each cabin, but the same guide the entire tour. Tours are started on the hour.
The tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We were the only ones there so got to ask lots of questions.
It’s neat. I got to roam around and look at the outside of the houses. But the museum wasn’t open, although the internet page said it was.
Our tour was very great and the guide was extremely knowledgeable, he answered every question we had and was enthusiastic. The cabins are all very cool and we got to take a step back in time, it was nice imagining how life was and hearing the stories of the battles as well. Very much recommended.
We went in the off season and missed out on the live actors, but got a nice private tour of the facilities. The people who work there have amazing knowledge and passion for the history there. Great place to go if you home school to teach history. I think most of the live acting is in the summer time.
This place is small, but truly cool. When we arrived there was nobody around even though we had read a tour was scheduled at that time. We poked around a bit in front of the gift shop and the person working there came out and told us it was closed for a film crew that was doing shots there that day. However, they hadn't shown up yet, so we got a personalized short tour. It was great. Very cool to see how people lived in such small homes. I wish there were actors and stuff, because that would have been awesome.
If you've ever been to Greenfield village then just know, that this place is absolutely nothing like that. There were like four cabins to look at, and it was a tour, not living history. The tour guide gave us a very long history lesson in the gift shop before we started and wasn't very charismatic about the topics. I never saw the show so I can't say anything about it. The bathrooms were disgusting and the gutter were about to fall off. All in all, not the experience that was advertised. I probably would not go back again.
