The non-profit Granville Museum's mission is to create
and maintain records of rural
Granville, Tennessee
and the closely related areas.
We will do this by
Storytelling, Photographs and the Written Word in
order to share our unique
story for the benefit and enjoyment of present
and future generations.
This story includes, but is not limited to, a rich river boat history,
strong agricultural ties, World War II maneuvers, small town life,
a diverse musical history, and detailed genealogy.
We sponsor annual festivals, on-going cultural and artistic events utilizing
our two facilities, the Granville Museum and the Sutton General Store.
We draw thousands of visitors to the area each year thus having a positive
economic impact on the community.
Our programs serve a diverse population of varied ages, backgrounds,
cultures, and knowledge levels.
"We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be
the past. We respect the past, remembering that once it
was all that was humanly possible."As we go through life, our
heritage is one thing no one can take from us. Please help us
preserve the Granville Heritage by bringing items about your
family. Be a Friend of the Museum and volunteering time to
help us. The Granville Museum belongs to everyone and we
encourage you to be a part of it!
