Native Americans were attracted by the Saltville Valley's natural resources and the abundance of animals in the area. At the Museum of the Middle Appalachians, view an extensive collection of Woodland Indian artifacts recovered locally. The Woodland period refers to the cultures that lived in the woodlands of the eastern United States. Also on display are photographs of pictographs found on Paint Lick Mountain in nearby Tazewell County, Virginia.
