Overton County Heritage Museum

Overton County Heritage Museum hosts a variety of exhibits which showcase and honor local heroes and history. Among them is B.C. Goodpasture, a noted writer and preacher who himself was from Overton County. There are also interactive activities such as "And Justice for all," where visitors may visit a replica jail cell in order to discourage them from lives of crime. Many photographs of the devastation wreaked by the "Twister of 1933" are also on display.
