Our goal is to provide all of our guests an unforgettable visit to Mossy Creek.

The Historic Old City Hall in Jefferson City, Tennessee, stands as a testament to the region's rich heritage and the community's dedication to preservation. Established in 1868 by John Roper Branner, the building originally served as a Masonic Lodge and girls' school. In 1882, it transitioned into the area's first public school, accommodating grades 1 through 12. By 1930, the structure was expanded to house the city government, including the Fire and Police Departments, and even a jail. The Masonic Lodge continued its presence in the building until 1989, marking a significant era in Jefferson City's civic life.

Recognizing the building's historical value, a dedicated group of local citizens embarked on a revitalization project to breathe new life into the structure. Their vision encompassed transforming the space into a multifaceted community hub, blending historical preservation with modern amenities. Today, the Historic Old City Hall houses The Lodge at Old City Hall, offering guests a unique lodging experience that marries vintage charm with contemporary comfort. Additionally, the building hosts the Heritage Center at Mossy Creek, which narrates the story of the Mossy Creek settlement dating back to 1788, and ReVisions, a boutique shop offering home decor and local crafts.

This revitalization not only preserves a piece of Jefferson City's history but also contributes to the ongoing efforts to rejuvenate the Historic Mossy Creek District, fostering a sense of community and pride among residents and visitors alike.
