gallery - which starts in the middle ages and continues
through colonial, pirates, old west, prohibition and
depression eras, the criminal justice area - which includes a
line-up, courtroom and functional jail cells through history,
our 9/11 theater, CSI room and car gallery featuring several
interesting vehicles from history - including the VW that

Take a trip back into 1864 at The Buttonwillow Civil War
Theater in Pigeon Forge. Witness the humorous and
explosive encounter between two East Tennessee siblings,
one a die-hard Unionist, the other, his spit-fire sister who is
aiding their Confederate cousins. Real history, taken from
diaries and letters, teach as well as entertain. Your group will
laugh until they learn… and leave our theater feeling good
about being part of this great nation. Our story reveals
both sides of a family’s struggle to protect their Tennessee.
Using genuine, un-filtered facts, long-lost from our books,
these two characters will steal your heart, make you laugh,
and make you cry… Yankees or Rebels… they were all
AMERICANS. Rated one of the Top Ten Theaters in Tennessee
by Trip Advisor. Featured on The Travel Channel, PBS and
applauded by the Associated Press.
