A fascinating facility dedicated to preserving natural and cultural artifacts, the Smoky Mountain Relic Room has a 40-year reputation for bringing history to life. Situated in the basement of Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the Smoky Mountain Relic Room houses a vast collection of relics from every epoch of Earth’s history, ranging from prehistoric fossils to Civil War memorabilia.

Owner Chase Pipes operates on the premise that there are not enough museums in the world to house all the fascinating artifacts in existence, and owning a piece of history should not be reserved for the rich. By offering authentic relics at accessible prices, he hopes to preserve these treasures and see them passed down through the generations. The company upholds honesty and transparency as its highest priority, complying with all state, federal, and international laws related to antiques sales. Additionally, all artifacts have been legally collected on private land and are guaranteed to be authentic and legal to own.

In addition to offering items for sale, Chase Pipes hosts an educational radio show and podcast titled Chasing History, and creates Chasing History YouTube videos that travel into the field with men and women who collect artifacts housed in the antiques and artifacts shop.
