The Heritage Alliance, the successor to the Warren County Historical Society, is a 501C3 (Not for Profit) corporation that serves as the chief preservation agent for Warren County, Tennessee. For over thirty years, the Heritage Alliance volunteers have fostered preservation efforts and exists as an umbrella organization, whose goal is to "Preserve the Best of the Past for the Future". Currently we operate a museum in downtown McMinnville that is housing a Warren County Bi-Centennial exhibit . We have over 10,000 items of historical significance, including a valuable collection of W.S. (Dad) Lively photographs and memorabilia.
Below is a list of some of the annual efforts of our group:
 | Warren County Heritage Center and Museum located at 115 East Main Street in downtown McMinnville. Open Tuesday and Thursday 2:00pm - 4:00pm, Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and Sunday from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. We also open by appointment for special group tours and events |
