Museum Center at Five Points

The Museum Center at Five Points is a history museum in Cleveland, Tennessee, dedicated to the Ocoee region and displaying collections about its development over time. Gallery spaces feature artifacts, photographs, and handcrafted items that tell the story of life in three neighboring counties.

The museum was founded in 1999 after a local committee formed in 1992 with the goal of creating a cultural space in downtown Cleveland. Its establishment represented a community effort to preserve and share the region's history with visitors.

The exhibits reveal how rivers and forests have shaped how people live and work in this region, connecting them to the land in ways still visible today. Local craftsmanship and everyday items on display show traditions that remain part of the community's identity.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, with extended hours on Thursday, making it accessible for most visitors planning a daytime visit. Allow several hours to explore the different galleries at a comfortable pace.

The museum operates its own shop featuring arts and crafts made by local artisans and items representing Southern traditions. This space goes beyond typical souvenirs to showcase functional pieces created by people from the region.
