McClung Museum

This past Tuesday, my class visited the McClung Museum. We learned about what Tennessee was like many years ago, and how it has evolved over time. I object I chose were shells. The native people used shells for many different ways. Such as, bowls, masks, and pendants. The picture above shows a man-made pendant using carving tools to make designs on the shell, and make it into a necklace. To this day we still wear shell necklaces. The shell necklace today also has a carved pendant like the necklace the native's made. Overall, I thought the trip to the McClung was very interesting and informative of how native's lived.
