Area Sports History
This display is to give the Museum visitor a brief glimpse into some of our sports pastimes and will be included in the "Community Living: Education, Medicine, Music and Sports" gallery when it is reopened. Funding has been made available to us and we plan to make necessary repairs and reopen soon. It is situated in the lower floor hallway just beyond the entrance. It displays local high school athletics as well as those who have gone on to higher levels of participation in sports.

Our Area Native-Americans
This display tells a short story of the "original" inhabitants of our area from Paleo-Indian to Cherokee. Included in the display are some artifacts that date back 5,000 to 8,000 years, such as the carved "Soap Stone" beaver pipe with its own pedestal. This display will be included in the "Tennessee Country Gallery" when funding is made available to design the new gallery. We are proud of our heritage and the new gallery will cover this area from Native-American to about 1850.
