A little salt and pepper on your
meal? What a combination for a wonderful meal on the
town. Stay in one of our
Gatlinburg cabin rentals and
visit the highly acclaimed Salt ‘n’ Pepper Museum in
Gatlinburg TN. It’s a one of a kind museum, and the only
salt and pepper museum on earth! The museum just moved
to another location in Gatlinburg, which is a lot bigger
and just off downtown and near a trolly stop. It’s
accessible to all, and enjoyable for the whole family.
There is a big parking lot that also has a winery and a
jelly store. The museum is above the Flapjacks Pancake
House, so eat up before you go visit the museum. It is
open in the summer from 10:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m. and
the winter from 10:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. Admission is
free, but donations are accepted.
The owners of the wondrous museum, the Ludden’s, never
thought they would eventually end up with thousands of
salt and pepper shakers while just searching for just
one set. Their story is an interesting one, as they
didn’t have a peppermill at home, so they went looking
for one. After visiting a few flea markets, they became
fascinated with salt and pepper sets. They bought, and
bought, and bought some more. Finally, they purchased a
total of 17,000 salt and pepper shakers from Texas to
East Tennessee, where they opened the museum in
Gatlinburg. The shakers come from a variety of
materials, ranging from glass, ceramics, wood, walnut
shells, antlers, bones, sea shells, metal, crystal, and
to just about any material you can imagine.
They have the largest pepper mill ever made, which
accompanies the smallest salt and pepper shakers as
well. If you have any questions, please call the museum
at (888) 778-1802.
