Museum in Tellico Plains TN
Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 1:03 amIf anyone is traveling and want to see a museum with a very good selection of guns (and antiques) they have one in Tellico Plains, TN (Monroe County) The owner owned the phone company there for decades in over the years. For payment of the phone bills he accepted whatever the customer would trade so he collected a lot of guns from full auto 50's to cap guns. If you never saw a 10,000 dollar bill they also have one of them on display along with a Model T (I may have the model wrong so lets just say old) phone company service truck. It is free but accepts donations. It is located between Chattanooga and Knoxville. On I-75 take Hwy 68 thru Sweetwater and Madisonville to Tellico Plains. Just past Hardees (in Tellico not the one in Madisonville) turn left and it is around 100 yards on the left. It even has a rifling lathe made of wood where they cut the grooves and lands by hand.
