Open House by the Society
From 10:00am - 4:00pm, there will be an Open House in the restored Butt-Mock House (1906) at the Mountain Life Museum Center. The house has been restored, and is in the process of being furnished in "Early TVA style, or how a typical upper-level life-style home would have been furnished in the early 1940's.

Included in the Open House will be the Payne Cabin (1861) which represents Union County life in the mid-1800's, the farmstead which represents out-buildings most local farmers had in the 1800's. Currently, it's a blacksmith shop, corn crib, barn, and spring house.

Complimentary refreshments will be served. Enjoy cookies, cakes and drinks!
All of the exhibits at The Old Courthouse will be open during the day.
