Civil War Bus Tour: History in Brass and Stone
November 10, 2019 @ 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Members, $45; non-members, $60
McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture will present History in Brass and Stone: Remembering Knoxville’s Military Heritage. Joan Markel, curator of civil war history, will lead the special Veterans Day-themed version of the popular Civil War bus tours. Attendees will observe how the “Volunteer” legacy of military sacrifice is memorialized in obscure locations all around Knoxville. The bus tour will include beer or cider and water compliments of Cherokee Distributing Company (for guests over 21), a keepsake McClung koozie, soft pretzels and dip from Holly’s Eventful Dining, and the two-hour tour. Each guest also will receive a facsimile booklet of Orlando Poe’s 1886 article “The Defense of Knoxville.”
