The Tipton County Museum, Veteran's Memorial and Nature Center is located in the largest urban park in Tipton County and includes a twenty-acre wildlife sanctuary, a half-mile nature trail through a woodland forest, and a wetland study area. The two-acre Museum grounds are beautifully landscaped and showcase the Tipton County Veterans Memorial Monument, a garden courtyard leading to the pond area, a shady space for picnics, and flora that produces year-round color.
The 5,000 sq. ft. museum houses changing exhibits featuring artifacts from Tipton County’s rich heritage and a nature center depicting the unique ecosystem of West Tennessee. The historical exhibits provide a fascinating account of the cultural and patriotic history of this area while the natural history exhibits are designed to teach elements of ecology, botany, zoology, and geology through interaction and discovery. Numerous programs for students and adults are available year-round.
The Museum Conference Center is an excellent place to host a corporate meeting during normal business hours and can seat up to 55 individuals. A projector and screen are also available for use. An outside door leads directly into the Conference Center or it can be accessed through the Museum. A bank of floor-to-ceiling picture windows looks outside to the beautiful garden area of the Musuem grounds. The conference area also houses a wonderful library of military history and art books for visitors to use for research or to just read, when the conference area is not booked. Coffee is also available... stop in for a visit or come to just get away and relax.
The Tipton County Museum operates through funding by the Tipton County government, the City of Covington, corporate sponsors, and Museum members. For membership information, call the Museum at 476-0242 during regular business hours or stop by and pick up a membership form.
