Bible Lands Museum Stopping In Cookeville This Weekend

The Bible Lands Museum will be coming to Cookeville’s Smyrna Church of Christ Friday.

Minister James Rogers said the exhibit comes all the way from Oregon and gives an opportunity to bring Bible knowledge to life.

“Bob Stancell began collecting artifacts and Bible times materials many years ago,” Rogers said. “He brings this display to various congregations, and Bob and I became friends several years ago, and we were able to arrange for him.”

Rogers said the free exhibit will be open all weekend. Rogers said viewers can expect artifacts dating back to 530 B.C. as well as a model of first century Jerusalem, Roman Soldier armor and more.

Rogers said people can visit the museum Friday 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
