Titled "Gunmakers of Buffalo Valley & Greasy Cove", the book follows the work of gunsmiths of Unicoi County, Tennessee and shares how they crafted these tools of survival by hand in shops powered by their own blood and sweat.
Photos from the Middle Tennessee History Coalition's "Tennessee History Trail"
We’re happy to be sharing these great photos from the Middle Tennessee History Coalition’s "2019 Tennessee HIstory Trail” event.
“In its fifth year, Tennessee History Trail is a unique heritage timeline event created in conjunction with Tennessee State Parks. This event is held each October at Bledsoe Creek State Park. It spans Tennessee history from 1500 to 1800 and offers programming not otherwise offered in middle Tennessee. It also helps visitors grasp the concept of the past shaping the present, and create a personal connection to the past. In addition to the annual event in October, smaller programs are offered the third Saturday of each month between January and May. Hope to see you on the History Trail.”
Checking out the event website, the Tennessee History Trail offers a variety of interpretive stations for guests and living historians to enjoy. Among the interpretations you’ll find Pre contact Woodland Native Americans, fur traders, Tennessee longhunters, and settlers of the Cumberland Region.
