Cookeville History Museum
The Cookeville History Museum opened its new location at 40 East Broad Street across from City Hall in the former Respiratory Home Care, Inc. building in April 2007. We are thrilled with our new location and look forward to having you come out and enjoy our community's history exhibited in our new facility. We thank you for your interest and support of the Cookeville History Museum! For more information please call 520-5455 or e-mail.
HOURS: Wednesday-Saturday, 10am - 4pm.
Now On Display
The Wattenbarger Ships exhibit opened on June 28th and will remain at the Museum until the fall. Dr. James Wattenbarger constructed sailing vessels that were replicas of actual ships that sailed in the 1600s and 1700s. The History Museum staff have combined the exhibit with the 20-year anniversary of an adventure some Cookeville Boys actually took aboard a ship back in 1988 from Poland to Argentina. The exhibit will feature artifacts from that trip including a flag signed by the boys.
