Together we can.

In co-operation with The Cades Cove Preservation Trust, the BCHM annually hosts the Blount County Heritage Fest, including Civil War Encampment on the grounds of the historic Thomson Brown House. Activities include tours of the Historic Log structure home, tours of the Museum, Vendors selling wares, period food sales (and modern snacks) and reinactors protraying day to day life, military life and period medical practices. On Saturday there is a small skirmish, and the cannon is fired on the hour all day long. Sunday morning there is a period religious service under the trees.
