The centerpiece of the museum is a log cabin dating to the late 19th and early 20th century, with original furnishings and historic newspaper clippings.

There are also a variety of period photographs donated by local Randolph County residents.

A museum annex was built in 1982, housing examples of period furniture and other objects.

Students from Maynard High School set up booths and games for the day.

The events include a "You might be a redneck" joke competition and a Pet Parade.
