The Sumner County Museum began in the 1970s with the vision of John Garrott, a local business man who also had the love and knowledge of history of Sumner County. Today, the Museum has seen thousands of visitors and consists of nearly 10,000 square feet of exhibit space. Today's exhibits include everything from prehistoric fossils found in the area to modern day vehicles. There are sections on Native American history, blacksmithing, gunsmithing, war, transportation, farming, homestead life, and more.
