First off the staff can not help you enough. They greet you and offer help from the start. If you want to do some genealogy work, family history or use there computer for online research, you have come to the right place. Large tables are available to spread your work out and it’s quiet!! Located in an old church across from the Art Circle Public Library which is also amazing. Two awesome resources in this small community in TN

This landmark structure was built in 1937-1938 to house the administrative offices of the Cumberland Homesteads, a project of FDR’s New Deal. It is located 4 miles south of Crossville, TN at the junction of Highways 127S and 68. The octagonal stone tower houses a 50,000 gallon water tank and a winding stairway that leads to a lookout platform at the top. Museum exhibits are displayed on the ground floor including photos, documents, and artifacts from the 1930’s and 1940’s.
A friend and I stopped here and at the house annex while our husbands tried to fit in a round of golf before the downpour . The Tower museum is small, but it contains a many items from the past. My friend and I reminisced some as we walked through the museum when we spotted items we had owned as children, or saw things our parents or grand parents had once had. We laughed at a poem about taxes in the gift shop and bought shirts that proclaimed that we "climbed the tower" which for us was quite a feat, especially after all ghe hiking we had been doing. The person working in the gift shop was very patient as she gave my directionally challenged friend directions to the museum house, which was just as nice as the tower, but smaller. Note: cost was very reasonable, around $6:00 for both the tower and the house. If you do both check out the reflection of the bridge in the park you have to drive through to get there ( the park starts with a c, I just can't recall the name right now) ; you could get a nice picture of the bridge and reflection - that is if it isn't pouring rain like it was the day we went.

We are a well-regarded Military Museum covering conflicts from the Civil War to the present, housed in a historic Crossville, TN building. Admission is free with donation accepted. Open Monday-Friday 9am, - 3pm. Group tours can be arranged.
Had no idea this place even existed. Thanks to TripAdvisor we stopped by to check it out. Memorabilia, militaria, and stories abound. Weapons, insignia, uniforms, flags, and lots of stories make this a must visit for military and civilians alike. How much do you know about Nazi prison camps in the US? The local 4-H camp has quite a story to tell.
