We went with three different generations of our family and all three had a great time. (And all three generations went down the massive multi-story indoor slide!!!) The grounds are LOVELY and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to explore all the outdoor exhibits. Our favorite indoor exhibit was the torture chamber! How fascinating!!! And the kids absolutely loved the water play on the highest level! I feel like this is a place you can visit over and over again and not see it all or have a new experience each time. If you're in the area: do give it a try! I bet you'll find something to enjoy.

Fortunately when the earthquakes occurred there was not many people living in this region and it was before technology. These are 2 things missing that would provide background and documentation to make an interesting story and museum. For $5 it is worth a quick pit stop if traveling through, a definite must if living in the region.

My wife and I are vacationing at the Pickwick Landing State Park, TN and decided to visit the…read moremuseum. It's small, and we didn't have high expectations, but we were pleasantly surprised. It covers the gamut of the river's lifetime, all the way back to pre-historic times when the Mississippi River Valley was an ocean. There are a variety of fossils and brief but well-written and informative placards describing everything. Not too wordy, but just enough to get the point across. The next room shows the development of the native (pre-western) cultures and it's really quite fascinating. Then comes the white man and the genocide (they don't say it quite that way). It even gives fair time to the Trail of Tears, including the fact that the Supreme Court ruled against President Jackson and he just ignored them. Then on to the civil war and the post war economic boom. One thing Wanda and I were surprised by is that this area of the Tennessee River is uniquely rich in fresh water mussels and became the main source of fresh water pearls and "pearl" buttons in the US. They would cut round pieces right out of the shells, polish them and turn them into buttons. It was really cool. It doesn't take too long to tour and is well worth the stop. The staff is friendly and the surrounding Savannah historic district makes for a nice walk afterwards with several nice little restaurants.
