What Visitors Say!

So much cool stuff! The standing exhibits and the rotating special exhibits are beautifully put together, fun to investigate, and a plethora of information about the local community and its ties to the state and country at large.

This small building holds a large amount of information and artifacts regarding the birth of our city. There are also new exhibits as well, one of which has been a tribute to nurses in our area. It was very interesting and informative. Cookeville is greatly blessed with this museum!!

A lot of interesting history for such a small space. It was nice to wander around at your own pace. Great place for history buffs and it’s free.

Marvelous display of Cookeville from Indians to now!! Enjoyed by us and my 87-year-old Dad who was visiting. We’ve lived here for over 30 years, but this was our first visit. We’ll come again!!!

The timeline of events tells Cookeville and regional history. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and truly make it a unique experience. The organization and exhibits are impressive. Make sure to walk down to the depot.
