Fodor's Expert Review Pilgrim's and Sabie News Printing Museum

Pilgrim's Rest Specialty Museum

The tiny Pilgrim's and Sabie News Printing Museum is full of displays of antique printing presses and old photos. The building, constructed in the late 19th century as a residence, later served as the offices of the weekly Pilgrim's and Sabie News. The first newspaper in Pilgrim's Rest was the Gold News, published in 1874 and notable for its libelous gossip. The editor, an Irishman by the name of Phelan, felt obliged to keep a pair of loaded pistols on his desk. Purchase tour tickets at the information center.
