April through June, and September through November, students can experience a day at school in colonial times. Visit with a costumed museum interpreter who will help answer your questions about the schoolhouse, artifacts and grounds. In the gift shop you will find arts and crafts fashioned by local artisans and many hard-to-find books about Sam Houston and Blount County, written by local authors.

Bring a picnic lunch to eat . There are several FREE events throughout the year. Click on "events" for more information.

The lovely grounds (especially beautiful in the spring and fall) and pavilion can be reserved for weddings, receptions, teas, luncheons, group picnics, reunions, etc. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!

Call the office at 865-983-1550 for questions about rental fees and available dates.
