    I attended the Main Street Conference and this venue was the host. I was impressed with the facilities and hope to attend a show there soon.

    The Earl Scruggs Center is located in Downtown Shelby in the 1907 built Cleveland County…read moreCourthouse. Free parking is available on the street. The entrance is on the Washington Street side of the building. Make sure to stop at the smaller building outside as that is where you buy your tickets and receive your earbuds. From there you can proceed inside the renovated courthouse and a docent with start the introduction film then explain what order to go through the museum. The Center opened in 2014. I did not know who Earl Scruggs was before my visit. The North Carolina Musicians Mural Trail brought me to Shelby, NC. But he was a well-known banjo player and who had his own style of playing while developing the sounds of bluegrass. Besides Scruggs, the museum tells some of the history of Cleveland County. The Rotunda has the instruments used by the Scruggs family. In These Hills tells Earl Scrugg's story and has some interactive exhibits. There is a board where you can listen to his music and that of other artists. Out of Carolina is the next room and covers the next stage in Scruggs career. The radio history, Shelby Dynasty and textile mills in the area. Turning Road is the last room covers the Civil Rights Movement, textile mills closing, and changing music styles. I recommend a visit to the center if you are near Shelby.

    Very interactive and interesting to learn about Earl Scruggs and bluegrass music. I enjoyed it…read morewith my family.

The security and front gate guards were very nice and welcoming. I enjoyed a funnel cake with a pretzel as well! They were really good! We played a few games and also bought some popcorn! It was fun and so much to do here! I Bucky recommend bringing the kids or a fun date night!

    I can't write a bad review but I can't write a positive review either .... I was scammed at the…read morefair by two vendors making fraud charges on my card .. both at a funnel cake place and a candy apple place . I took my partner and her son and wanted to get a wristband so he can ride whatever , he has autism and I wanted him to go on the rides at his own pace . Lady was rude and said there were no Armand's not mentioning the place to buy them was right around the corner . (We saw this after buying the tickets ) Also the child with autism waited an hour to ride the roller coaster and they made him leave bc the ride broke down (it was fixed only 2 mins later ) and he had to wait all over again , they could've let him have his spot back . The swings operator was horrible a group of teenagers got in front of all of us in line (there were at least 15) and they let them through to ride and didn't say a word .. it was rude and disrespectful. The positive review I'd have to say is always cullers . They have the best vinegar fries that I look forward to when I go . Candy apples were great and my partner loved the fat Albert game even though we didn't win , just watching the little mouse was super fun .. Word of advice : don't bring your debit card .. ever . Use cash for everything, I ended up having to dispute over $80 of fraud activities on my account :(
