If you love NC quilts, woodworking, and pottery, you will love this charming museum. You get a great personal tour with a fascinating story about the Sheltons' work with native Americans in NC and New Mexico. A real find!

Had to wait on the porch for the rest of my party since I could not go upstairs due to a sore ankle. Seems if you cannot take the entire tour, you can't tour any part of the house!! Certainly will not recommend it !!
