 Come see us! The agricultural
museum, located on the spacious grounds of the Ellington Agricultural Center, has an extensive collection
of home and farm artifacts from the 19th and early 20th centuries along
with rural Tennessee prints and folk art
sculptures. Textiles, a woodworking collection, buggies, wagons and large
items like the McCormick reaper and Jumbo steam engine are exhibited in a
renovated plantation barn. Log cabins, a small farm house, kitchen/herb
garden, perennial garden and nature trail are also part of the museum tour.
The self-guided
tour is free for individuals. Group reservations are required with a small
fee for demonstrations and educational programs. The museum is handicapped
accessible with ample parking for busses. Hours are weekdays from 9:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except on state holidays. For
organized activities, reservations are required. Call (615) 837-5197 for
