It is the only US Museum salt and pepper shaker is located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. In appearance it is rather inconspicuous, so it is easy to miss driving by. But believe me, you need to find and visit this Museum and here’s why…
The Museum has over 20,000 salt and pepper shaker, each of which is part of the General history of mankind. The oldest exhibits date back to the 15th century. There are instances devoted to pop culture, religion, Royal families, famous people and characters. There are salt shakers in the shape of cars, fruit and vegetables, animals, kitchen utensils, even light bulbs and astronauts. These items are in every home and used for many centuries, therefore, can tell a lot about the life of people over a long period of time.

The Museum was opened relatively recently – in 2002 year an archaeologist named Andrea Liddy. First, as is usually the case, the woman herself was own collection. Just for the soul. Over time, the collection has grown so much that she decided to share the heritage with everyone.
And that is what is most awesome! By 2010, the collection of salt and pepper shakers Andrea Liddy has grown so much that she decided to open another Museum, only the second was opened not in the States and in Spain. Another 20,000 salt and pepper shaker. I must say that these 2 are the only Museum of its kind in the world. And you have a unique opportunity to visit at least one of them!
