The Museum of Appalachia’s Tennessee Fall Homecoming
the Museum of Appalachia
Oct 9th, 2008
Fall Homecoming has once again been selected as one of the Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 events for October 2008.
Some 400 nationally, regionally, and locally known musicians perform all day on five stages, including Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, the Grascals, Dailey & Vincent, Grasstowne, Greenbrier, Melvin Goins & Windy Mountain, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Mike Snider, Leroy Troy, Cody Shuler & Pine Mountain Railroad, Paul Williams & The Victory Trio, Dixie Gray, The Muellers, Johnny Bellar, and many other outstanding performers.
And it’s much more than music. The Museum’s mission is to preserve the Appalachian heritage for future generations—hence the demonstrations of old-time skills like molasses-making, rail-splitting, spinning, sheep herding, and much more.
Homecoming includes scores of artisans making authentic Appalachian pottery, baskets, wood carvings, musical instruments, quilts, artwork, and countless other hand-crafted wares. Authors and musicians offer their books and CDs, and food vendors serve up tasty Appalachian “vittles”—from a full meal of cornbread and beans to special treats like fruit cobblers, homemade ice cream, and apple butter.
