About Tennessee River Museum
Run by a nonprofit, this downtown Savannah museum tells the story of the Tennessee River basin through its exhibits. Themes include prehistoric fossils, Indigenous societies, early settlers, the Cherokee removal, Civil War activity on the river, steamboat trade, mussel harvesting and button making, ferry crossings, and the memorial efforts tied to Shiloh. The museum occupies a 1939 former post office that is on the National Register of Historic Places, and it also hosts events and programs for visitors of all ages.
