Review:
Thomas Jefferson Boyd’s home in Wytheville opened as a museum in 1983. Known as the Father of Wytheville, Thomas Boyd was the town’s mayor, a surveyor, lawyer, hotel builder and member of the Virginia legislature. Artifacts in the home museum focus on the area’s local history, including the Civil War and a historic Wythe County polio epidemic. Collections include Wytheville’s first fire truck and early farming equipment, as well as military and Civil War uniforms. Interactive stations for children are located within the Discovery Center. The ten stations teach local history alongside science and math. Self-guided tours take approximately 30 minutes. The museum is located adjacent to the historic Haller-Gibboney Rock House.
