Tennessee Fall Homecoming

The Tennessee Fall Homecoming is a mecca for lovers of old-time music—mountain tunes, bluegrass, Gospel, folk, and old country. Some 400 nationally, regionally, and locally known musicians will play on five stages during the 3-day festival—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, quilting, 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 foods—from a full meal of cornbread and beans to special treats like fruit cobblers, homemade ice cream, and fried apple pies.
This year’s line-up includes Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Larry Sparks, Leroy Troy, Dixie Gray, Southern Raised, and more to be added. Please check our website for current updates. www.museumofappalachia.org
