The Ducktown Basin Museum is located on the historic mine site, which was the headquarters for Tennessee Copper Company and Cities Service mining operations from 1899 through 1975. An audiovisual presentation provides a brief historical introduction to the museum and its collection, which includes artifacts, photographs and displays depicting the industrial and cultural heritage of this former mining community. Larger artifacts are displayed on the grounds just outside the museum office.

Thunder Rock Recreation Area

Reviewed By MelissaS165

It’s clean, small, quiet and accessible. I did read reviews of people unhappy about the road noise from RT 19 across the river however I thought is was minimal. I’m not the heaviest sleeper and I was not woken but the few cars/truck sounds. The site are good sized and the distance between each site was great- yes you had neighbors but there was space and even trees in between each site. These sites work great for hammock campers too.
