Explore Living History And Try Goat Yoga At The Museum Of Appalachia In East Tennessee

Tennessee is rife with fascinating history, a history that delves deep into the beginnings of the nation and reflects the state as an active participant in conflicts like the Civil War. The Museum of Appalachia is located just north of Knoxville, and the living history museum examines the role of Tennessee from the pioneer period to the early 20th century. What folks don't quite know is that it also offers one incredible experience: goat yoga.

The Museum of Appalachia is an oft-overlooked historical museum in Norris County that offers daily self-guided tours and is a popular spot for school field trips. It's also been known to host a series of educational programs, corporate events, and weddings in its Tennessee tenure.

It was founded in 1969 and was designed to portray authentic farm and pioneering life in early Tennessee. You'll find over 250,000 artifacts on the museum grounds, which is made up of a series of pioneer buildings. Roughly 100,000 folks visit the museum on an annual basis.

Nowadays, if you're looking for a quirky way to spend the day you should definitely check out the baby goat yoga class hosted by Emily Pace from Yoga865. For a mere $20 a person you can experience all the joys of yoga amidst of cute gaggle of goats.

Aren't they darling? Class sizes are limited, so make sure you check the Museum of Appalachia for reservation opportunities and updates.

Of course, if you want to experience the gift shop and on-site restaurant you can explore beyond those darling little goats as well.

All classes are held outside so you can experience the beautiful history of the museum as well as get in touch with your inner self. There's nothing more relaxing than marrying the past to the present and meditating on the beauty of the great outdoors.
