The Sevier County Heritage Museum has buckets on the floor to catch the water that flows freely into the building from the ceiling.

Located at 167 Bruce Street in Sevierville, the museum received $2,500 from the county to make the necessary repairs.
However, that doesn't even begin to cover the costs, according to Mr. Parton, the person in charge of the museum.
The e Museum opened July 10, 1995, as part of Sevierville's Bicentennial Celebration.
Housed in the Old Sevierville Post Office, the Sevier County Heritage Museum showcases the proud heritage of Sevier County, which was founded in 1795.
Unfortunately there are buckets and pans scattered all over the floor to catch the water. The paint from the ceiling is flaking off onto the treasures below.
The Sevier County Heritage Museum contains interesting displays of local artifacts and memorabilia, offers genealogical research services, and hosts lectures and classes.
The Sevier County Heritage Museum also houses the library of the Smoky Mountain Historical Society. Admission is free.
