While in Big Springs
Country, come by Ellsinore Pioneer Museum in East Carter County. Located
in Ellsinore, 1/2 mile off Highway 60 on Route V, a stop here can be the
crowning touch of your vacation. Buy sourdough bread and blackberries
when available. When scheduled, you can see genuine spinning,
sorghum-making, rug-weaving, black-smithing, soap-making, quilting,
hominy-making, cider-pressing, bread-making and other pioneer tasks by
people who cherish our pioneer heritage and want to preserve it.
Find help in tracing your family history. Our Museum has records
forms and a resident genealogist to advise in researching family trees.
Shop for quilts, crochet, and other native handiwork at our
cooperative gift shop.
