The Arts Center of Cannon County and the Cannon Cultural Museum are proud to announce the 2009/2010 exhibition, “From Necessity to Invention: Tools, Machinery and Culture” exploring how the development of culture is directly affected by tools and machines.

This exhibit looks at the advent of both hand implements and machinery on agriculture in Middle Tennessee, on the development of the white oak basketry culture and chair making tradition in Cannon County, and on the production of moonshine whiskey in the area. The exhibition will also examine the “Stump Jumper” tradition from Reel Foot Lake in the northwestern corner of the state.

The Cannon Cultural Museum’s second exhibition features artifacts from the Gertrude and Ben Caldwell Collection and the Cannon County Historical Society Collection and is sponsored by the Arts Center of Cannon County, the Cannon County Historical Society and Gertrude and Ben Caldwell.

A welcoming celebration will be held from 6:30pm - 8:30pm on July 9th and the staff, Board of Directors, and patrons of the Arts Center of Cannon County invite all community members to come out and experience Cannon County's the newest cultural attraction.
