Interesting Facts about the property:
What we now call the carriage house, this structure was built by Will Shelton around 1918. Originally a 2nd floor apartment for the housekeeper, the ground level had a coal bin storage area and a carriage house that was later turned into a two-car garage. In 2019 we opened the “Shelton Carriage House Gift Shop”. Looking for a gift, souvenir, or treasure….you will find it here. We have over 25 artists/crafters who are displaying their works in the shop. The main home on this property was built in 1875 by Stephen Shelton for his family. He used black walnut trees to make the doorways, mantels, wardrobe closet, bed frame, and stair railing. The property is on the National Register of Historic Places and currently serves as the Museum of NC Handicrafts, with one of the finest folk art craft collections in the Southeast! The collections in the Museum and Barn consists of beautiful antiques, heritage crafts, agricultural exhibits, and other items from crafters and artisans past and present. The Village of Yesteryear crafters were instrumental in providing donations of crafts for the Museum. Charles Ray, oldest nephew of Will and Hattie Shelton, donated selected items from Will and Hattie’s Southwestern Native American collection to the Museum.
