The Tennessee River Museum has a much better Civil War exhibit than Shiloh. Outstanding Indian artifact collection.
We had a very enjoyable visit to the Tennessee River Museum. The curator is a wealth of information. The exhibits were extraordinary. I've never seen so many arrow heads in such good condition. There is a $3 charge per person unless you visited the Shiloh National Park. Then there is no charge, but do make a donation. Convenient parking right out front.
They have a lot of items of importance an history behind them .It is worth the time to look inside . Nice places around to eat afterwards.
We were visiting the area for Shiloh National Military Park and received a flyer for the TN River Museum at the Visitor Center. We enjoyed our visit very much and it was made even more enjoyable by the very nice ladies on duty. If you are in Savannah, you should stop in for a visit.
It is all inside.there are alot to see at the museum,all kind's of stuff the indians,& people used way back when.this is the place to go.You will love it.
If you enjoy history. Tennessee history, this is a fantastic museum to visit! Lots of information. Neat exhibits.
A lot of history right here in this little gem. History of Tennessee river and river boats. Very interesting, we went on a girl scout trip.
Now the museum has a lovely exhibit dedicated to Sgt York, it seems they are busting at the seams to be able to display all they have. As you move through the rooms there are some overlapping from, say, ancient native displays and civil war artifacts. The pictures I took are varied but I didn't get any of the York exhibit, but their primary displays regard paleontology, archaeology, Trail of Tears, Naval portions of the "Unpleasantries" as it's called in the south, the steamboats, musseling and button making occupations. It was a lovely afternoon of learning. The docent was amazingly sweet.
This little museum is packed with indian artifacts, civil war items and other items relevant to the area from long times past. Very interesting.A "must see" if you are in the area of Savannah, Tn.
A good small museum. Informative, but not interactive displays. There were several video screens located throughout, but they did not provide further explanation of the displays or info for children who are too impatient to read. They played music and showed pictures of things similar to those in the nearby displays. The layout is fine, but there is little in depth information on a multitude of topics. The temporary display on Cpl York and the WWI was mixed in with displays on archeology and Native Americans. Around the side of the building are fantastic pieces of petrified wood we just happened upon as we went around the block...worth a look. If you have extra time or need an indoor activity you can't beat the price. Don't make a special trip.
