The Warren County Heritage Center & Museum
Located at 113 East Main Street, McMinnville, the Heritage Center and Museum is currently housing the official Bicentennial exhibit, “200 Years of Warren County in Pictures”, in its galleries. An array of photographs and artifacts that chronicle our local history are included in the display, as well as a tribute to local music legends Dottie West and Uncle Dave Macon. A permanent exhibit of items related to W. S. Lively are on display in the Southern School of Photography Gallery in the Museum. Included is one of the life-sized portraits completed by Lively, as well as success stories from some of his students from around the world. As well, Warren County Heritage Center and Museum is also home to Main Street Photography Post. Now in its eighth year, the Post meets Thursdays at 7 P.M. to learn photography as a career option. Classes, starting each December, are open to youth and adults.
