The Tennessee River Museum is located in the historic old post office building immediately west of the courthouse in downtown Savannah. The building was constructed in 1939 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum is staffed by the Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Dedicated to commemoration, preservation, and education, the TRM also plays an important role in promoting heritage tourism.
