Flatwoods Monster Museum

Small Main Street museum devoted to Braxton County's famous 1952 UFO and monster sighting.

The Flatwoods Monster Museum is Sutton's strangest stop. It tells the story of the 1952 sighting near nearby Flatwoods, when local children and adults reported a towering red-eyed figure after seeing a bright object cross the sky.

The museum is small and playful, with local exhibits, souvenirs, and enough context to explain why the Braxton County Monster became part of American UFO folklore. It works best if you enjoy roadside Americana, local legends, or the way small towns turn a weird story into identity.
