Join acclaimed author Jack Neely for an engaging talk as he discusses his Historic Knoxville: The Curious Visitor’s Guide to Its Stories and Places, a comprehensive and engaging 200-page, full-color, guide to scores of sites and institutions relevant to the city’s endlessly fascinating, but often little known, history.
Jack will identify and discuss historic locations across the city that define Knoxville’s uniqueness as an Appalachian town deeply rooted in the past, as well as the remarkable individuals who left their mark on the “scruffy city”, making it quite possibly the most American of cities. A book signing will follow.
A well-known local author and historian, Neely is executive director of the Knoxville History Project and for many years authored the popular “Knoxville’s Secret History,” column in the Metro Pulse. Other publications include Market Square: A History of the Most Democratic Place on Earth, Knoxville: This Obscure Prismatic City, From the Shadow Side: And Other Stories Of Knoxville, Tennessee, and The Marble City: A Photographic Tour of Knoxville’s Graveyards.

Free program.
