Experience American history right on Gay Street at the East Tennessee History Center. Interactive displays and exhibits will captivate you and your family, and the museum offers visitors an in-depth look in to how Eastern Tennessee helped shape the history of the United States, from civil war installments like the Mabry-Hazen House, to the birthplace of the Tennessee Valley Authority, to the Oak Ridge Nuclear facility.
