The Museum of Appalachia’s
Come celebrate our national independence—
the old-fashioned waywith patriotic ceremonies,
old-time music, pioneer demonstrations,
and the highlight of the day,
The ever-dramatic anvil shoot Several times during the day, the hunk of iron bursts from a cloud of smoke,
sometimes catapulted as high as the treetops.
The deafening boom, it is said, can be heard 15 miles away.
Other sights and sounds of an old-fashioned Independence Day:
Authentic old-time music, patriotic speeches and a bell-ringing ceremony, the aroma of freshly split cedar logs, the whine of the tractor-powered circular saw-mill,
and tasty summertime culinary treats
Tennessee Fall Homecoming is held each year on the second full weekend of October. One of the nation’s largest and most authentic old-time music, craft, and folk festivals.This year, the Museum will celebrate its
30th annual Homecoming
October 8-11, 2009 special activities are planned to celebrate this milestone.
We are proud
to have been named an Affiliate
of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution, who
describes us as "an American treasure" that
"stands alone as a tribute to the American spirit.
The Museum of Appalachia is about family, country,
hard work, and respect for tradition."
