| Introduction | Tracing the history of Southeast Tennessee from the Cherokee and early settlers through the early mid-20th century the Museum offers 30 permanent exhibits ranging from pioneer simplicity to Victorian splendor and include displays of decorative glass, needle work, fine art and period costumes. The Living Heritage Museum also offers several changing exhibits and programs throughout the year and one of the South’s largest quilt shows. |
| Interests | The Living Heritage Museum is all about visitors and we’re striving to make everyone not only feel welcome once they have entered our doors, but feel able and eager to take those first few steps towards them. Museums often have the stereotype of being a highbrow place that are fine for kids to visit as long as they’re quiet and touch nothing. However, if we curtail their unfiltered attraction to history as a child, how can we demand they appreciate it as an adult? While we have always welcomed families, we are working hard at the promotion of family-friendly policies, attitudes and exhibitions with our new “Kids Initiative.” We will provide the tools parents need to help themselves and their kids interact with history with several new components sure to spark kids, and parents, interest. So come be a kid again at the Living Heritage Museum in Athens, Tennessee. You'll never know what you'll find. |
