This Halloween, history is getting a little spooky—and a whole lot sweeter—at the Cheatham County Museum!

Join us October 31 from 5:00–9:00 p.m. for Candy & Chaos Through History, a fun way for families to explore the museum while trick-or-treating!

Each family will receive a special History Passport when they arrive.

As they make their way through the museum, they’ll visit different history stations, collect a stamp or sticker at each stop, and discover a little Cheatham County history along the way.

Complete the passport and receive a special treat at the end!

Don’t forget your camera or phone! Families can stop by our Halloween Photo Booth and take their own photos using their personal electronic device. Come in costume and capture a fun Halloween memory at the museum!

👻 FREE ADMISSION — Donations Accepted

Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, with no more than four children under 12 per adult.

Come for the candy, stay for the history—and expect a little CHAOS along the way! 🎃👻🍭

The Cheatham County Myseum is open today from 12-4.

The skies are gray, the air is a little spooky, and something strange may be happening inside the museum!

We’re busy getting ready for Candy and Chaos Through History on October 31st, and rumor has it we may have a few unexpected “friends” helping us decorate!

After all, when you’re surrounded by 170 years of Cheatham County history, you never know who—or WHAT—might show up!

We enjoyed welcoming siblings Rick Smith and Liz Smith Taylor from Murfreesboro to the Cheatham County Museum!

They stopped by on their way to visit local family cemeteries and reconnect with their Cheatham County roots.

Cemeteries are more than resting places. They are outdoor museums filled with family stories, history, and memories waiting to be discovered.

Thank you for stopping by! We love meeting visitors who are exploring their family history.
