From Eugenia’s verandah, you can see the Tennessee River in bits and pieces through the dense summer foliage. Knoxville’s most prominent geographical feature, it was still wild and undammed when she built her house. Over the centuries, it has served as both a barrier and a highway, navigated by flatboats and sternwheelers, industrial barges and paddleboards, crossed by canoes and ferries, pontoon bridges and railroad trestles. And who knows what’s down there at the bottom, but shipwrecks, airplanes, and Confederate cannons are somewhere in the silt. We’ll share what we know, and show pictures. Space is limited to 48 people and pre-registration is required. Tickets are $10 per or $5 if you’re a current Friend of KHP Supporter and can be purchased at Home | Knoxville History Project.
