3 floors and 10,000 square feet of exhibits and artifacts.

The Sumner County Museum began in the 1970s with the vision of John Garrott, a local business man who had a love and knowledge of the history of Sumner County.

Over the years, countless people have donated or loaned items to the Museum. There is a large accumulation of items, some of which are unique to the area. These include: the first pumper fire engine of Gallatin; a workable tinsmith shop; a blacksmith shop; a music exhibit which is being enlarged with new items; the military area of War Between the States, WWI, WWII and Vietnam; and many more.

Today, the Museum consists of nearly 10,000 square feet of exhibit space. Today’s exhibits include everything from prehistoric fossils found in the area to modern day vehicles. There are sections on Native American history, blacksmithing, gunsmithing, war, transportation, farming, homestead life, and more.
