Incorporate this into a walking tour of Cumberland Gap—the museum is small (one room) and located next to a scenic stream, making it ideal as a stop during exploration of the town rather than a standalone destination

What visitors say
While taking a meandering route from Florida to Illinois, my wife and I found a nifty off-the-beaten-track museum. The Little Congress Bicycle Museum is in the beautiful setting of Cumberland Gap, Tenn. The museum is the labor of love…
What a cute little museum. Totally free and open to all. In the lovely little town of Cumberland Gap, right next to a stream. The little town is well worth a visit.
Interesting little ONE SMALL ROOM museum...not sure if it's a destination, but well worth a stop if you're in the area. Nobody "man's" the space - you're being videoed, and by yourself. Cool little find by a nice babbling brook!
