4.8 (4,011)From pioneer relics to Dolly Parton’s outfits, this museum charts the rich, varied sweep of Tennessee history.
Description
The expansive collection moves from prehistoric eras and Native American artifacts through Civil War relics into the state’s musical heritage, eventually winding forward to oversized 1990s mobile phones and boxy televisions.
Upstairs, the main floor divides between permanent and rotating specialty exhibits, while an interactive children's gallery provides hands-on play alongside the broader historical timeline.
