The Davy Crockett cabin museum, located in Rutherford County, Tennessee, is a 19th-century wooden house that served as the last residence of the legendary Davy Crockett from 1822 to 1835. Crockett, a renowned hunter, trapper, military colonel, politician, and freemason, is a significant figure in American history, particularly in the conquest of the West.

Inside the Davy Crockett Cabin

The cabin where Davy Crockett lived from 1822 until his death in 1836 has been meticulously restored, maintaining the original framework and shingle roofing. The cabin is furnished with items from the early 1800s, including photos, letters, and period documents. Visitors can also find local history books and information about the Crockett family, as well as the grave of Crockett's mother, Rebecca.
