The Lenoir City Museum, established in 1997, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of Lenoir City, Tennessee, from its early settlement by Major William B. Lenoir in the 1800s to its development as a city in 1907. Located in the historic Lenoir City Company building, the museum highlights significant events, including the arrival of the railroad, the Civil War, and the city's industrial growth, particularly through the Lenoir Car Works.
The museum also explores the social, religious, and educational advancements in Lenoir City, as well as its contributions to U.S. military history in the twentieth century. Housed in a Victorian cottage built in 1890, the museum is a testament to the area's heritage and the legacy of General William Ballard Lenoir, who received land grants for his Revolutionary War service.
