The Museum & Cultural Center at 5ive Points, a proud Smithsonian Affiliate in Cleveland, Tennessee, serves as a gateway to the rich and storied history of the Ocoee region. Our permanent exhibit, The River of Time, chronicles the area's journey from prehistory to modern-day Cleveland. Bradley County, once the final seat of the Cherokee national government before their forced removal, played a significant role in the internment and relocation of the Cherokee people during the infamous Trail of Tears.
During the Civil War, the region was deeply divided—Bradley County opposed secession, while Polk County supported it. Industry has left a lasting imprint on the community, from copper mining to stove manufacturing. In more recent history, our region took the global stage by hosting portions of the 1996 Olympic Games.
Since opening in September 1999, The Museum & Cultural Center at 5ive Points has been a champion of local history and a vibrant cultural hub for Cleveland. We offer a diverse array of creative workshops, musical performances, art and history exhibitions, and educational programs for children. Here, guests and the community can immerse themselves in the abundant heritage of the Ocoee region.
With over 19,000 square feet of stunning indoor and outdoor event, meeting, and conference space, the museum provides an ideal setting to mark special occasions, host meaningful gatherings, and celebrate history. Whether you're exploring our exhibits or planning an unforgettable event, The Museum & Cultural Center at 5ive Points is where history and community come together.

The best wedding venue
— An Eventective User
from cleveland tn
This is the best wedding venue in cleveland tn here is a little history about it.
On March 9, 1992, a committee was created to study the feasibility of establishing a museum in Cleveland. The group defined the museum as: An organized and permanent non-profit institution, essentially educational or aesthetic in purpose, with professional staff, which owns and utilizes tangible objects, cares for them and exhibits them to the public on some regular schedule.
The committee then created a mission statement, ""The purpose of the Museum is to preserve and interpret the history and culture of the Ocoee District of Southeast Tennessee by highlighting the adventures of its people.""
The Museum Center at 5ive Points opened to the public on September 11, 1999, after breaking ground nearly a year and a half earlier on May 29, 1998. The Museum Center is both a museum and cultural center. The Museum houses exhibits and artifacts relating to the history of the Ocoee Region of Tennessee, which includes Bradley and Polk Counties .
The Museum features a permanent exhibit, The River of Time, which traces the history of Bradley county. In addition, five to six changing exhibitions are held each year that focus on aspects of the history or art of the region.
The Museum Store is a gallery that sells the arts and crafts made by craftspeople living within a 200-mile-radius of Cleveland. The Museum also houses a Cultural Center, which is rented for private and community events.
