OCM Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Talked to the folks at the new Alcatraz East museum in Pigeon Forks, TN this morning. Fire has missed the museum so far but they got evacuated from their living quarters there. Main thing is they are fine, and a lot of historical items are out of harm's way.I think they planned to open Dec 16, may change now. OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCM Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Horrible situation- Poor folks there.This is an aerial of the crime Museum there, Alcatraz East. It's in the center/upper with the guard towers on the ends of the building- They have like triangle roofs. The fire appears, close to the backside of the building, with the smoke.As far as I've heard it was spared, the whole area will suffer from the tourists trade probably.Sad- They put a lot of work into the museum. Same with the rest of the area. I think Dillinger's 1933 Essex Terraplane 8 is parked inside there, along with other items like that, maybe the Bonnie & Clyde movie car also.

ghostsoldier Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Jeez, that's bad. I haven't been there in about 5 years, so I want to go back and see the museum...once it's up, and running. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Got a note from them, looks like Friday is the opening- ( 16th ) I think they offer discount tickets prior, on their web page. Here's a private preview of some of the items, when I owned the stuff... Edited December 25, 2016 by OCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
