Charles Hall Museum — Attraction in Tellico Plains

So absolutely amazed! I confess I was not anticipating much of a museum. This place does NOT disappoint. Charles Hall Museum really is a museum and of high caliber. For those who are truly history buffs especially of the local area you will find a lot of historical items and history told with displays throughout the museum. The museum is FREE and it is housed in two separate buildings. Don't neglect touring both buildings as each house unique historical items. They do accept donations so I recommend being prepared to donate if you feel moved to do so. There are gift shops conveniently located at each building so you may enjoy souvenirs as well as local and hard to find items anywhere else. We were warmly greeted when we entered both buildings. Nice and relaxing shopping atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility just requires going over a short sidewalk through the main entrance doors at both...

My husband and I absolutely love Tellico Plains and had never stopped at the museum and welcome center until this past weekend. I'm so very impressed by the wonderful collection of antiques and artifacts! The two ladies that we met were amazing, as they were so passionate about the history of Tellico Plains and the wonderful families that have called it home. We did have our 4 year old and our 7 year old with us and they LOVED the stories and the memorabilia as well. There was no charge, but I highly suggest a donation or a purchase from the WONDERFUL gift shops on your way out. It's supporting a wonderful place, amazing people, and preserving our history...

This brought a flood of memories to my mind. Charles Hall and my Grandfather Price were good friends. There is even a showcase of part of the gun collection that belonged to my grandfather! Had a nice conversation with a older lady there that knew him before he passed in 1995. Lots of memories on this trip! Here is the picture of him in the case and his gravestone! I was actually in town to fix grandma Prices headstone. Love this...
