SUMMARY:Summer Social in the Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:The Heritage Alliance is hosting a Summer Social in the Old Jonesborough Cemetery on Saturday\, August 12th from 6:00-8:00 pm. “It used to be a common thing for families and friends to gather in the cemetery and picnic\, share stories of their loved ones\, and relax\,” shares Executive Director Anne Mason. “There was nothing odd about it. Cemeteries are sacred spaces\, but they’re also public spaces\, and we want people to come and tour the cemetery and learn more about the community they live in.” \n  \nTour guides and people in period costume will be on hand to answer questions and share history from the Rocky Hill and College Hill cemeteries. Ice cream will be available for $2.00 a scoop courtesy of MOM’s Ice Cream with Munchies on Main. Ice cream sales will benefit the historic preservation of the cemeteries. You can also help hand crank your own ice cream for $2.00. Parking is available at the First Baptist Church located at 201 E Main Street in their side parking lot. There is no parking at the cemetery. The cemetery is a short walk up from the church parking lot. We’ll also have a golf cart shuttle available throughout the evening from the First Baptist Church parking lot. \n  \nDuring the evening\, the Heritage Alliance will unveil a temporary marker honoring the victims of the 1873 cholera epidemic and marking the mass grave from that historic event. The mass grave was re-discovered this March by Heritage Alliance volunteer Gordon Edwards and Dr. Robert Jones with the Tilted Tavern Animal Sanctuary. They used ground-penetrating radar to locate the mass grave. The cholera epidemic moved through Jonesborough from mid-July to August of 1873\, 150 years ago exactly. More information about the mass grave and the search to locate it will soon be included on the Heritage Alliance’s website at heritageall.org. \n  \nWe hope you can join us on August 12th for the Summer Social in the Cemetery.

SUMMARY:Evening at the Museum
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 13th\, guests will have a chance to stay late at the Jonesborough & Washington County History Museum located inside the Jonesborough Visitor’s Center. The Heritage Alliance will be hosting a special reception from 6:00 – 7:30 pm for their current exhibits\, including: “Eight Myths About Appalachia\,” “Fifty Years of the National Storytelling Festival\,” and “Elihu Embree and Nancy: Principle vs. Practice.” We invite the community to come out for some history\, music\, games\, and a chance to tell us what you would like to see in your local museum. The Bluebirds\, a local bluegrass music act\, will provide entertainment for the event and light refreshments will be served. \n  \nThe Jonesborough & Washington County History Museum has been located in the Visitor’s Center since the 1980s. It has undergone several renovations\, but some aspects have not changed since the museum opened over thirty years ago. The Heritage Alliance maintains the museum\, and we would love to hear from the public as we work to make improvements to the space. Our organization hosts temporary exhibits every year\, and we are excited to showcase our recent displays about Appalachian myths and stereotypes\, storytelling\, and The Emancipator. \n  \n“A county museum is where a community gets to tell its story. We hope that folks will come and visit the museum and share their ideas with us\,” Executive Director Anne Mason encourages. This evening is also the perfect time to learn more about volunteer opportunities with the Heritage Alliance\, especially in the museum collections and archives. The Heritage Alliance always welcomes individuals interested in working with physical collections (such as transcribing letters\, accessioning materials\, organizing items\, etc.) and with digital collections (scanning\, uploading\, tagging documents and photos). \n  \nItems currently on display in the museum include artifacts from the National Story League on loan from the Storytelling Resource Place\, a beautiful collection of Cherokee China\, and the clock that used to keep time in the 1847 Washington County Courthouse. Join us on April 13th for a special evening full of history\, music\, and fun. The Heritage Alliance would especially like to acknowledge and thank Humanities Tennessee\, who generously funded “The Eight Myths About Appalachia” exhibit via a 2022 SHARP Grant\, courtesy of the NEH. \n  \nThe Heritage Alliance is dedicated to the preservation of the architectural\, historical\, and cultural heritage of our region and to providing educational experiences related to history and heritage for a wide range of audiences.  For more information\, please call our office at 423.753.9580\, or contact the organization via email at info@heritageall.org.  Additional information can also be found online at http://www.heritageall.org/.
