Sam Houston Historic Schoolhouse is a single-room log cabin built in 1794 in Maryville, Tennessee, where the young Sam Houston taught school before the War of 1812. Visitors step back to 1812 to experience what early American education involved, guided by costumed museum interpreters who answer questions about the schoolhouse, artifacts, and grounds. Students and groups participate in colonial-era activities including book learning, colonial games, candle-making, corn grinding, quilting, and washboard laundering. The schoolhouse operates as a Tennessee state historic site and appears on the National Register of Historic Places. A gift shop stocks arts and crafts by local artisans and books about Sam Houston and Blount County by local authors. Field trips and school groups are a specialty, with visits available during spring and fall months. The site welcomes visitors of all ages to learn how frontier families valued education even in remote settlements served by a nearby spring.
Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
