Aug 1 - Sep 1 Wattenbarger Ships at the History Museum
The Wattenbarger Ships exhibit opened earlier this summer and will be on display through the rest of the summer. Dr. James Wattenbarger constructed sailing vessels that were replicas of actual ships that sailed in the 1600s and 1700s.

The History Museum staff have combined the exhibit with the 20-year anniversary of an adventure some Cookeville boys actually took aboard a ship back in 1988 from Poland to Argentina. The exhibit will feature artifacts from that trip including a flag signed by the boys

The History Museum is open Wed-Sat from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
