Large, open fields — rustic structures —
picturesque views — the charm of simpler times.
You and your guests will feel right at home.

Make the unique beauties of Old Appalachia part of your Special Day.

Do you dream of a wedding under a blue autumn sky followed  by  a reception inside with a crackling fire in a big, stone fireplace?  Or have you always wanted an intimate ceremony in a small, woodland chapel?  Have you envisioned a spring wedding in the open air with lambs in the fields around you?  The Museum of Appalachia can make your dreams come true.

  

Start your new life together with a wedding you and your guests will remember forever in the pastoral setting of the Museum of Appalachia. Just 25 minutes north of Knoxville and only one mile  from  Interstate 75, the Museum's 60-acre living pioneer village provides a special atmosphere that welcomes your guests and makes them feel right at home.

  

Our rustic cabins and outdoor areas offer a variety of options for unique portrait and ceremony locations, indoor or outdoor receptions, and other activities for your guests and wedding party. Our spacious banquet hall  features a large stone fireplace and comfortably seats 225 guests.

Whether you choose a bridal package where we do much of the work for you, or whether you want to plan all the special details yourself, you will make memories to last a lifetime at the beautiful Museum of Appalachia.

You are invited to schedule a site visit or call the Museum to discuss our rental rates and available dates. Our Events Staff will be happy to work with you to make the planning process simple.  Simply telephone 494-7680 and ask for either Jane Kirk or Theresa Bean.
