History speaks through the Museum of East Tennessee History's permanent and changing exhibits! At the heart of the museum is the award-winning signature exhibit, Voices of the Land: The People of East Tennessee, a moving, artifact-rich journey through more than 300 years of life in East Tennessee. Popular, too, is the East Tennessee Streetscape, a true step back in time, wherein visitors can peruse the Corner Drug Store or climb aboard Island Home-bound Streetcar No. 416. Several times a year, changing exhibits installed in the Rogers-Claussen Feature Gallery highlight special stories from East Tennessee's past.
So, come explore the region's history and heritage! The following exhibits are currently on display:
“We live our dreams. We make them come true. Our ideas and energies combine in a dynamic force–the kind of force that made the developments and breakthroughs and discoveries in this building possible.”
–President Ronald Reagan, dedication of the US Pavilion, 1982 World’s Fair, Knoxville, Tennessee
...
History Headquarters (History HQ) is the East Tennessee Historical Society’s exhibition experience for young historians and their families.
