Tennessee River Museum-11 July 2013

In the town of Savannah, TN you will find a very interest museum and for the price of $3 you get allot of bang for that $3. The exhibit covers the local region of the area which covers fossils found in the area, woodland Native Americans ( this is by far the largest of the exhibits), Civil War along the Tennessee River, and the local cultured pearl industry (yes TN is the only place in the United States the grows cultured pearls) and the Trail of Tears.  There are two huge petrified tree trunks on the outside of the museum worth seeing. We spent about two hours in the small, but very filled museum.
