Military Memorial Museum of Upper Cumberland: Restoration Update

​September 25, 2025

​

The Military Memorial Museum of Upper Cumberland is proud to announce its reopening. On the morning of Tuesday, September 2nd at 10 AM, after more than a year of closure, the museum welcomed over sixty eager visitors who gathered to explore the newly refurbished space.

​

We would especially like to express our sincere gratitude to all the volunteers who have dedicated themselves throughout the past year to supporting the restoration and reopening of our Museum. Their tireless efforts and commitment have played an essential role in making these achievements possible.

Visitors will notice that the museum interior has been refreshed, making the displays easier to view while preserving the welcoming atmosphere of a local, family-run institution. In addition to the improved layout, several new exhibits have been introduced for the first time, and we encourage everyone to visit and experience these additions.

​

Further work will soon begin on the building’s second floor, supported by several grants. Upcoming improvements include the installation of efficient new windows to help protect the museum’s collection and the addition of an HVAC system—an important upgrade that will allow for future expansion of display space into multiple rooms upstairs.

​

We warmly invite everyone to visit and see the results of our work. Currently, the museum is open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM. For groups interested in tours during weekends or after hours, special arrangements can be made by calling the museum during business hours.

​

As always, admission is free, but donations are greatly appreciated to help continue our efforts.
