Salt & Pepper Museum Gatlinburg, Tennessee

America’s only Salt & Pepper Shaker Museum in Gatlinburg, Tennessee is the culmination of a lifelong passion of owner and curator Andrea Ludden. Join Andrea’s son, Alex for a tour of the amazing little museum and its collection of more than 20,000 salt & pepper shakers, including 15,000 pepper mills that are visual metaphors for cultural trends in America’s past and around the world.

Most people come to Gatlinburg to experience the Great Smoky Mountains and many discover the fascinating museum by serendipity, as did I.
