Museum Of Appalachia, Tennessee

We had the chance to take a short glimpse on what is this museum all about; Museum of Appalachia in Tennessee. We arrived there very early and they were not open yet, but there were stuff outside the museum and we took advantage of it by taking few pictures. Here are they: (The third photos is cropped to fit in. Please don't mind my face, I was up all night on the road.)

Museum of Appalachia is a living history museum of pioneer, frontier, and early artifacts of mountain life in the Southern Appalachians.
.
The Museum has been featured in dozens of other national magazines and has been the subject of articles in virtually every major newspaper in the country; John Rice Irwin and the Museum have been the subject of several articles in foreign newspapers as well. Thousands of people from every state in the union and many foreign countries view this splendid preservation of Southern Appalachian life each year, and the official Tennessee Blue Book has described it as "the most authentic and complete replica of pioneer Appalachian life in the world." The American Automobile Association's Tour Book rates the Museum as a "Gem," and our Tennessee Fall Homecoming has been named one of October’s Top 20 Events in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society for 13 years successively.
