Many beautiful things in a smaller setting. Very well maintained with a friendly staff. One corny video that attempted to provide local color. Otherwise, elegant and well done.

Loved Bob Timberlake's extensive collection on display. It dates to his childhood when his interest in painting started. Has some of his first tools of the trade and pictures. Love seeing the crayons and table where he worked as a child. Also, shows beautiful work he has done thru the years. Very worth going to see. Could spend a whole...

This a beautiful place for pitures and for the history/legend. I t is awesome to visit Blowing Rock winter, spring, summer or fall. Always grab a bag of pop corn and it will hit you in the face.

For a one street town, we were very suprised and pleased at the BRAHM here in Blowing Rock. The three story building openened in Oct 2011. Wonderful exhibits from local craftsman, potters, and painters. They also have a Civil War exhibit. They also have a theater with a video, but we did not see it. $8 per person.

We walked through town, met and talked with the local folk at the restaurants, newspaper, and museum, and even ate Liver Mush at...

This museum is new to Blowing Rock. It features a video on the history of the area and a small permanent collection as well as temporary exhibits. You will be surprised to find a museum like this in the small town of Blowing Rock. Lots of interesting information as well as an unbelievably beautiful building make this a hidden gem....
