One of the first facilities in the country to bring together military history, environmental education, and historical preservation, the Tipton County Museum is truly unique. This million-dollar facility is located in the largest urban park in the county, which includes a 20-acre wildlife sanctuary, a half-mile nature trail through a woodland forest, and a wetland study area.

The museum houses changing history exhibits featuring artifacts from Tipton County's rich heritage and a nature center depicting the unique ecosystem of West Tennessee. Numerous programs for students and adults are available year round.

The conference center is an excellent place to host your reception, corporate meeting, or event.

These are some of the programs the museum offers:

• Education programs can be given upon request to groups of children in grades K - 12, following our ongoing mission "Enhancing Classroom Education". A fee of $5.00 per student per program is due upon arrival and reservations must be made at least 2 weeks in advance. Please call the museum to schedule your program.

The museum operates through funding by the Tipton County government, the City of Covington, corporate sponsors, and museum members. Join us! Become a friend! Download a Museum Membership Form here in pdf format to become a member. Call the museum for membership benefits (476-0242).
