My husband and I stopped in the museum knowing nothing about this interesting historic art form. We were pleasantly surprised. A nicely curated museum showing a variety of hooked rug art.

Without having to ask they gave us great recommendations for a scenic drive and a great place to find lunch with a wonderful view. Definitely worth a stop to learn about this interesting tradition and meet some really great locals.…

This place is a must even if you think you don't care for rugs. It will blow your mind at the work that goes into some of these pieces. The owner is a cute French-speaking lady who is a gem.
