Rent a Cabin and Visit the Salt and Pepper Museum
A little salt
and pepper on your meal? What a combination for a
wonderful meal on the town. Rent one of our
Gatlinburg cabin rentals and visit the
highly acclaimed Salt ‘n’ Pepper Museum. This museum
is sure to add some flavor to your vacation. It’s a
one of a kind museum, and the only salt and pepper
museum on earth! The new location in Gatlinburg,
which is a lot bigger, is just off downtown and near
a trolley 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 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.
