Tina Turner Museum at Flagg Grove School
Flagg Grove School
This former one-room schoolhouse attended by a young Anna Mae Bullock (a.k.a. Tina Turner) is now home to a collection of the “Queen of Rock’s” memorabilia.
Step inside the restored Flagg Grove School. This one-room schoolhouse once attended by a young Anna Mae Bullock (a.k.a. Tina Turner), built by her great uncle in 1889, is now home of the Tina Turner Museum. Inside you’ll find a collection of her memorabilia, including costumes, gold records and even her high school yearbook.
Saved and moved from Nutbush, a small farming community just outside of Brownsville, you’ll also experience what learning must have been like for African-American students in the 1940s through early ’60s. The structure also includes an authentic chalkboard and original desks and benches preserved along with the structure.
Education is very important to Tina and she explains why in this video where she shares her memories of Flagg Grove School and growing up in Nutbush.
Visitors to the school also experience her last concert while looking through the exhibit.
The Tina Turner Museum is an official location along Tennessee’s Music Pathways.
