I’ve made progress on this goal! I live in Knoxville and my last post was the first new place I visited- Market Square. Its been really neat learning about the place I live- I never realized how many interesting things there are to explore! Here are the next new places I have visited…
Place #2- Knoxville Gardens and Arboretum … with cedars of Lebanon and whimsical round stone buildings from the 1700’s. Beautiful!
Place #3- Yee-Haw Industries … They print publications on antique Gutenberg-style printing presses. I got to meet the owner and see how they do their work.
Place #4- Knoxville Museum of Art. Interesting exhibits, and a neat interactive art room for kids that my little girl enjoyed.
Place #5- Museum of East Tennessee History. It was open for free on the day of a history festival! Very neat place- they have Davy Crockett’s actual first gun.
Place #6- Knoxville Visitor’s center – free bluegrass concert each day at noon for the Blueplate Special!
Place #7- World’s Fair Park & Sunsphere. Knoxville hosted the World’s Fair in 1982 and in the park you can go up in the Sunsphere for free and get a good view of the city.
Place #8- Tennessee Theater. Beautifully restored in 20’s art nouveau style. Free concert on the first Monday of the month at noon- bring a brown-paper bag lunch and enjoy the music!
Only two places to go!
