Welcome to the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum

     Have you ever imagined what it would be like to wear the moccasins of the Cherokee or to experience the satins of the Victorian era?

     Have you ever heard the whirl of the spinning wheel or felt the camaraderie of a quilting bee?

     Relive more than a century of the rich, turbulent history of Southeast Tennessee at the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum.

     Thirty permanent exhibit areas depict life from the Cherokee Indians and early pioneer settlers through 1940. The extraordinary antique glassware collections of approximately 100 pieces features many rare and one-of-a-kind items.

The McMinn County Living Heritage Museum is pleased to announce their new blog at www.museumpieces.blogspot.com and is an easy way to get a daily update of what's going on at the Museum. New information, pictures and even video will be added on a regular basis so be sure to check back as often as you can.
