Schedule your next trip to include the nationally acclaimed Museum of Appalachia!

Experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of bygone days with a tour or a special package event!

Our popular package features a tour of the Museum's spectacular grounds and collections, a buffet meal served in our spacious and comfortable banquet hall, and an hour of live, authentic old-time music performed from our banquet hall stage!  The typical package runs three hours, but times can be expanded or compressed, depending upon your schedule's needs.  Our standard menus can be modified as well.  Depending upon the time of day you expect to arrive, you can market the package as a Morning, Afternoon, or Evening in Old Appalachia--and you'll want to include the information that your group will be treated to an authentic taste of East Tennessee when they enjoy a meal served by Buddy's Bar-b-q®, the region's hands-down barbecue favorite!

Other things to consider when planning your trip:
We're only 15 minutes from Knoxville and less than an hour from Pigeon Forge.
You can make a day trip out of a visit to the Museum along with visits to the nearby
  Norris Dam and State Park, Lenoir Museum, and the 19th century Rice Grist Mill, all
  within 15 minutes of us.
For longer trips, there is lodging within two miles and convenient lodging in nearby
  Knoxville as well.

Let our Events Staff do the planning for you--check here for information, basic pricing, and suggested menus.  Plan to include us in your next trip!

 

The Museum of Appalachia is open during daylight hours year-round, except Christmas Day.  Closing times vary with the seasons, depending upon daylight hours.  Please telephone for exact hours of closing.
