Tennessee State Museum

The Tennessee State Museum was created in 1937 by the General Assembly to house World War I mementoes and historical artifacts representing various facets of Tennessee history. Originally located in the lower level of the War Memorial Building, the museum moved to the new James K. Polk Center in 1981 where it remains today. It features exhibits of the state's first inhabitants, frontier beginnings, Antebellum, Civil War, Reconstruction, and the New South.
