We visited the State Museum yesterday for my daughter's school field trip! The Staff was nothing but courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable. The exhibits were presented nicely and if you stick around long enough you might learn a thing or two about our states history!

Questions & Answers

Is this a good place to learn a lot about US History in the 1700-1800’s? My boyfriend LOVES history in between that time period (mainly his obsession with Alexander Hamilton) and I would love to take him if this museum is the place to be?

Would this be a good 5th grade field trip? Would it be engaging enough to hold a 10-11 year old's attention?

Mindy Blankenship | Oct 1, 2019
Joe Hinton | Sep 30, 2021

The subject came up 0n face book about memories of Nashville and the response to the old museum was overwhelming from people's childhood memories. Now the old museum was dark and poorly lit but was full of the most interesting things. Some of which stuck in the minds of kids who are now senior citizens. Don't deny any young man or woman the this opportunity.

What is the oldest music published in Nashville of which the museum has a copy? Does a copy exist of Western Harmony by Allen Carden c 1825 as recorded on a historical marker in downtown Nashville?

Cindy Bell | Sep 30, 2020
Mary Skinner | Sep 30, 2020

Hi Cindy- I work in the Communications department at the Tennessee State Museum. I was able to get you answers from our historians.The Tennessee State Library & Archives has a copy of Allen Carden's Western Harmony in their rare book collection. The Museum does not own one. As far as the Museum's collection, we have a hymnal published by the Southern Methodist Publishing House in 1860. We also have some sheet music published by J.A. McClure in Nashville dating back to the 1860s. I hope you find this information helpful.

William Neely of the Donelson Party was killed by Indians in 1780 at Neely's Lick later known as Larkin Sulfur Spring. Do you have info on William Neely and also on the exact location of Larkin Sulfur Spring? Can this site be visited today?

William Neely | Oct 1, 2018
Mary Skinner | Oct 1, 2018

Mr. Neely- I searched our records at the Tennessee State Museum and could find no records on what you are searching for. You might try the Tennessee Library & Archives. The museum at this location closes on May 6. The new State Museum opens in October.

How much the ticket?

Brenda Del Río | Oct 1, 2018
Lady Agnes | Oct 1, 2018

As of right now, the museum is free of charge for everyone. I believe that is excluding any special exhibits, but since they're in the process of getting ready to shut it down and move it they are bringing in any special exhibits right now. The museum itself is amazing and there's so much Tennessee memorabilia and firsthand Civil War artifacts it's absolutely worth a visit go see it now before they move it. There's no guarantee in the new building that it will continue to be free of charge or that all the exhibits will be moved. I believe they're closing down May 5th in the current location and then opening up a few months later in the new building up by the Farmers Market. If you have a chance go see it now it's absolutely worth it
