Pioneer Hall Museum
Pioneer Hall, the second Academy building to be constructed, was completed in 1889. Having served at various times as a dormitory, classrooms, a library, and offices, it stands today to tell the story of the Pleasant Hill Academy and the community, including the health facilities from which evolved the Cumberland Medical Center. Exhibits, which represent the lifestyle of early Cumberland County, include a country store, dormitory rooms, the principal's office, the tools of health care and the arts and crafts of the period.
Pioneer Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Dr. May Cravath Wharton, Alice Adshead, R.N., and Elizabeth Fletcher established the Uplands Cumberland Mountain Sanitarium (also known as Cumberland General Hospital) and Van Dyck House, a tuberculosis sanitarium, in Pleasant Hill. Their efforts grew into the current Cumberland Medical Center in Crossville, TN. A room in Pioneer Hall Museum honors these women and their work in providing health care for the people of the Cumberland Plateau.
