The Zachary-Tolbert House, established 1852, is a unique Western North Carolina example of Greek Revivalist Architecture ~ a European architectural movement introduced in the United States in the 18th century by Thomas Jefferson. Surviving intact for over 150 years without electricity, indoor plumbing, or central heat, the Zachary-Tolbert House now serves as a museum exhibiting a unique collection of hand-crafted ‘plain-style’ furniture, a collection considered to be the largest known grouping of its type. A regional treasure, the Zachary-Tolbert House transports visitors into the historic and colorful past of Cashiers Valley and a much more gentile way of life.
