The Crockett Tavern Museum is a history museum in Morristown, Tennessee, that commemorates the American folk hero David "Davy" Crockett. The museum was started in 1955, when a popular craze over the legacy of Davy Crockett was at its peak, and opened in 1958. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in December 2013.To visit Crockett Tavern Museum and other attractions in Morristown, use our Morristown trip planning app.

The museum is operated by the Hamblen County chapter of the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities.

Great way to spend my time and $5; we highly recommend. My son and I stopped in on our way from Panther Creek State Park to David Crockett Birthplace State Park. Initially, I wasn't excited about dropping $5 per to get in, but I am very glad we did. The guide working was very knowledgeable and spent about an hour walking us through the facility and answering all our questions. All proceeds go back to the upkeep up the tavern and grounds. I will definitely stop in again on my next pass through Morristown.

Very helpful and knowledgeable people to assist you questions and information. Due to that one fact, I would have to say it is one of my top museum visits. Highly recommend taking the time to see the displays and talk to docents.
