LEWIS COUNTY MUSEUM

&

Hohenwald Discovery Center

     The Lewis County Museum and Hohenwald Discovery Center provide a walk through a time line of local history and an exploration of exotic animals from around the world.  Beginning with some of the earliest artifacts found in the southeast, the visitor can view pieces of history from the Tennessee frontier, Civil War relics, and items that tell how miners and European immigrants came to settle Lewis County and Hohenwald.  The most famous American buried in Lewis County is the great explorer Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the story of his life and mysterious death are also told.

     The Dan and Margaret Maddox collection provides close up views of exotic animal mounts from some of the remotest areas on Earth.  At one time, the collection was the fourth largest in the western hemisphere.

     The outdoor Discovery Center includes an almost full-scale replica of Lewis and Clark's Fort Mandan, a pre-historic village and an early cabin area, all under construction.  Nature walks are also being developed.

     The museum is open from  10 am - 4 pm - Tuesday thru Saturday,  1 pm - 4 pm on Sunday and closed on Mondays.

     Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for children 13-17, $1 for children under 13 and $3 for senior citizens.
