Rhea County Courthouse & Museum

Located on Market Street, this was the site of the Scopes trail, the 1925 landmark case that pitted the Darwinian theory of evolution against Biblical creationism. The 1891 courtroom remains much as it was during the trail and is still used today. The museum, 2 floors below, exhibits articles relating to the trail and traces the proceedings from beginning to end.

Open Monday through Friday 8am-4:30pm; closed holidays.
