Museum of Appalachia: Norris, Tennessee

by Stephen-KarenConn - last update: Nov 23, 2004

Normally I would not devote a complete set of pages to a single museum, but the Museum of Appalachia is no ordinary place. It is a wondrous 60 acre living mountain village, which has earned rave reviews in such far flung periodicals as The New York Times, Kansas City Star and Los Angeles Herald Examiner. The Official State of Tennessee Blue Book calls the Museum of Appalachia "The most authentic and complete replica of pioneer Appalachian life in the world."

Step inside these pages and let us share with you just a small sampling of the of the more than three dozen structures and 250,000 artifacts which help make this one of our favorite museums in all the world.

 Thanks for the very clear description and photo of a salt kettle. I have a friend who lives on Salt Kettle Lane, and an online search turned up "millions" of Salt Kettle Houses, etc. but no definition/description, even in an encyclopedia or two. Thanks

 Stephen this is a nice page but what a great place. I really appreciate places that thrive to be authentic and it looks like that was front and center for this museum. You would find this site interesting: http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/4e22e/de7c4/
