It is a unique and excellent museum to the legendary Earl Scruggs and includes many photos, recordings, interactive opportunities. An introductory video is wonderful. Admission price includes a set of earbuds for listening to the many audio opportunities. It is housed in the historic old courthouse which stands in the middle of a lovely parklike area and is in the center of the town. It was a spur of the moment decision to leave the Interstate and follow the signs to the museum, and we were definitely glad we did. Price is reasonable and they discount for AARP.

The Center museum is chockfull of not only historical information of it's name sake, but also of the area. It has interactive stations, and displays. Upstairs was a limited time exhibit that was also very interesting. You start in the "pump house" then into the old courthouse ( on the square) the shops around the square are wonderful too. The staff was so warm and enhanced the visit with information

The Earl Scruggs Center is not the slickest museum around; however, it is a superb example of historic preservation and devotion to its main emphasis (Scruggs) and the area. The exhibits might underplay the musical significance of Earl Scruggs, but that’s in character with a man who by all accounts was very humble. We’re really, really glad we visited!
