The new exhibitry in the ground floor of the Chester Inn State Historic Site is currently being fabricated by the exhibit design company and should be ready for installation soon.  

Site work at the Chester Inn should occur in the next few months, to allow for installation to occur in time for a projected fall opening of the space.

Check back with the Heritage Alliance website for more updates on the progress of this new and exciting museum space.

The staff and volunteers of the Heritage Alliance are busy planning the logistics for the upcoming 2010 Progressive Dinner.  

This year's dinner promises to be the best yet, as we will be visiting several historic structures who have either never been part of the Progressive Dinner in the past, or who have not been on the tour in many years. 

Registration information will be placed on the Heritage Alliance website in early August.  Mailings to past attendees will also be sent at that time. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Heritage Alliance office.

The Heritage Alliance is proud to partner with Knox Heritage, a Local Partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the East Tennessee Preservation Alliance for a clean up day on May 26, 2010 at Rural Mount in Morristown, Tennessee.

Built in the 1790s, Rural Mount is a beautiful example of stone house construction.  The home, which has seen neglect and vandalism over the years, will be secured and mothballed over the course of the workday.

More information will be posted here on the website, as it becomes available.  Please contact Justin Sanders if you have any questions or would be willing to participate in the day.
