Historic
Old City Hall
It began with land donated by John Roper Branner and a building dedicated to, as the cornerstone reads, Branners son Sir Knight William Branner and the Masonic Lodge 353 in 1868. The second floor was solely devoted to the Masonic Lodge chapter and the lower level for educational purposes and held the Masonic Female Institute (1870-1879). These women were relocated to the Old Mossy Creek Baptist College campus 1882 and this in essence became a continuum that became Newman College and then the Masonic Public School for boys and girls opened at the lodge.
On June 28,1904 with a half holding in the lot deeded to the government by the Masonic Hall Lodge 353, the city erected a two story addition fronting Branner Avenue. and it became the first public school grades 1 through 12. In 1930 the front addition became Jefferson City, City Hall while also hosting the Fire Department and Police Department to include a Jail.
Mossy Creek
Heritage Center
Within the Historic Old City Hall, the Mossy Creek Heritage Center tells the story of the settlement of Mossy Creek in 1788, Appalachian living in East Tennessee and the rich History of our present day beloved Jefferson City. There is are so many stories to be told here by the citizens of Jefferson City and we will try to capture as many as we can.
The Lodge

Take a minute to imagine staying in a room surrounded by a design from a different decade; Mid-Century Modern, Victorian, Contemporary and others, all with the modern conveniences and comforts we hold to the highest standards. The Lodge @ Mossy Creek has strived to create an experience like no other. Anyone can stay in a room like every other cookie cutter hotel room. Or you could choose to sleep in a bed from the 1800 (made into a queen bed of course!) or sittingby the window drinking your local coffee in a chair from 1950? Including locally hand crafted furniture, each room has hand picked colors meant to soothe and restore the senses. The Lodge at Mossy Creek has all this and more.
