Historic Collinsville, located in south Montgomery County, Tennessee near Southside, Tennessee is a recreated village/museum that offers a glimpse into mid 19th century life. It contains era specific implements of the early European and African American settlers to the area. Each year there is a Civil War battle recreation.

Historic Collinsville is a living history museum featuring authentically restored log houses and outbuildings dating from 1830 to 1870. The settlement takes visitors from the earliest first home to the expansive big house on the hill with separate kitchen, living and sleeping areas. Each home and outbuilding has been painstakingly restored to its original condition and furnished authentically.

This is the land where the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Iroquois and Shawnee Indians traveled. It is where the soldiers of the North and South met; just 45 miles to the northwest is Fort Donelson National Battlefield, the site of a major battle of the Civil War. Cotton and sheep were raised by the early settlers and then transported by land and down the Cumberland River which lies just two miles away.
