BOONE, NC

Older than trees, older than dirt These mountains in this part of the Appalachian Plateau began well over a billion years ago–way before there were such things as trees–to 250 million years ago (not older than trees). It is <a href="https://interestingengineering.com/science/earths-oldest-mountains-and-impact-to-planet" rel="noreferrer nofollow">one of the oldest mountain ranges</a> in the world. It looks to me that the Blue Ridge Mountains may have over-compensated in their rush for life.

Hickory Ridge Homestead Museum is a historic site located in Boone, North Carolina. The museum consists of a collection of historic buildings that once served as the hub of a 19th-century Appalachian farming community. The site includes a log cabin, a barn, a corn crib, a smokehouse, and other outbuildings that showcase the daily life and work of the early settlers of the region.

The museum's main attraction is the restored two-story log cabin, which was originally built in the mid-1800s by the Baird family. The cabin features hand-hewn logs and a stone chimney, and is furnished with period-appropriate furniture and artifacts. Visitors can tour the cabin and learn about the history of the family and their way of life.

The museum also features a blacksmith shop, a woodworker's shop, and a general store, which offer demonstrations of traditional crafts and trades. Additionally, the site has a garden and a small farm, where visitors can see farm animals and learn about sustainable agriculture practices.

Hickory Ridge Homestead Museum is open to the public from May through October, and offers guided tours, educational programs, and special events throughout the season. The site provides a unique glimpse into the history and culture of the Appalachian region, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of North Carolina and the early pioneers who settled the area.
