McMinn County Living Heritage Museum


Guess you all might want to hear from the driver every once in a while. It sure is nice to be on the road again, and headed south! We left the snow and slush behind us in Detroit and headed for Tennessee. Abigail abandoned me and went on a vacation to Mexico with some of her pals. Not to worry though! Frank Lorbach hopped in the truck with me and we headed off to do a 3 day event at the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum in Athens TN.

This local museum was quite impressive with more than 7000 artifacts in their collection! Its exhibits portrayed daily life and artifacts from different time periods throughout the county's history. We had a nice show and had a surprising number of veterans and their families come visit us. The area has a strong tradition of military service. It was a rewarding experience to receive their appreciation for the exhibit.
