Friends of the Museum

The Clement Railroad Hotel Museum is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of local, regional, and state history for future generations. Our members play an important role in the development of the museum through their volunteerism and financial support. Their continued support provides the resources needed for the Museum's interpretive and educational programs, collection conservation, special events, and travelling exhibits. Through our visitor services, exhibits, and programming, we tell the stories of railroading, the Civil War, local history, and the life of Tennessee Governor Frank G. Clement.

"We need your help to carry on the legacy of these powerful stories. Won't you join the Friends of the Museum today?"

While you enjoy the many benefits of membership, your financial contribution will be used in developing and expanding our exhibits, programs, and services. Member support helps preserve this railroad hotel which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and provides a unique educational experience for visitors from around the country.

To enter through the double doors into the Museum lobby is to remember a time when railroads were our country's mass transportation, when drummers brought their sample cases to display, and when good food, a clean room, and hospitality were the hallmarks of a first-rate railroad hotel.

"As a member, you will join a growing number of individuals and businesses who are committed to furthering the Clement Railroad Hotel Museum's mission of     researching, preserving, and interpreting our heritage through our collections, artifacts, and materials."
