From their website: www.scottishtartansmuseum.org ABOUT THE MUSEUM A tour of the Scottish Tartans Museum and Heritage Center, Inc. offers a look into "the origins, history, and development of tartans.", specifically the development of the kilt. Other exhibits also cover various aspects of the Scottish emigrant experience into North Carolina, and their interaction with the Cherokee people, natives to the southern Appalachians. This one-of-a-kind tartan museum is the only one located in the US. Located in the wee mountain town of Franklin, because of the fact that there are more people with Celtic heritage in North Carolina than anywhere in the world.
