Location

Visitors to Cumberland Gap National Historical Park should set aside an hour or two to browse through the park's Visitor Center, located on U.S. Highway 25E just south of Middlesboro, Kentucky. View the new award winning 23-minute long high definition film "Daniel Boone and the Westward Movement." Cumberland Crafts, the newest shop of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, is located at the visitor center. The Guild showcases crafts from the nine states representing Appalachia and celebrates these crafts by hosting artisans. Especially on weekends, visitors might be able to chat with a weaver, a potter or a cooper. Or perhaps visitors might be able to see glass rods magically transformed into dazzling, glistening beads. Also visit Eastern National's bookstore, the park's non-profit cooperating association, which offers a variety of publications on the park's rich mosaic of cultural, natural and historical resources. The park's visitor center complex is accessible, allowing for wheelchair use. Designated parking allows easy access to the building.
