  The Museum displays artifacts, artwork, and crafts from the Cheoah Valley (now the Snowbird Community.) 

Some of the projectile points (arrowheads, spearheads) date from 8,000 B.C. or earlier. The stone tools may have been made by the very first people here. The pottery is probably post A.D. 900, although some could be earlier.
