The Usable Past Series continues to explore the opportunities that exist in our own communities to meet the needs of our tourists\, achieve the revenue and interpretive goals at our historic and cultural institutions\, and create an environment where visitors feel safe and represented.\n\nIn historic Northeast Tennessee\, heritage tourism is a large part of why people travel: they want to know their history. However\, this is a field that has struggled to be inclusive and welcoming to visitors of all backgrounds. The Usable Past Series has engaged tourism industry leaders at all levels and from a variety of venues to discuss their best practices\, their own challenges\, and their successes in meeting their missions.\n\nSpeakers for this session focused on the economic benefits of inclusivity in tourism in Appalachia include Stephanie Jones\, Founder & CEO of the Cultural Heritage Economic Alliance\, Inc. and a founder of the National Blacks in Travel & Tourism Collaborative\, and Jenni Veal\, Rural Destination Development Manager. Presenters for this session\, Useable Past\, Safe Travels: Inclusive Tourism in Appalachia\, will discuss inclusive tourism and leisure practices in the Appalachian region. Panelists will address current/ongoing projects related to African American and Native-American travel and identify strategies to create and expand future opportunities for diverse and equitable travel.\n\nThis free workshop will take place online from 10:00 am to 11:30 am on Wednesday\, February 15\, 2023. Dr. Daryl Carter\, Director of the Black American Studies program at East Tennessee University\, and Jules Corriere at the McKinney Center will moderate the Q&A session following the presentations. Participants can register for the event through the McKinney Center’s website at McKinneyCenter.com Participants must register in advance to receive the Zoom link. More information can be found on the Useable Past Facebook page or at McKinneyCenter.com.\n\nThis workshop series is a collaboration between several organizations\, including the McKinney Center\, the Heritage Alliance of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia\, the Langston Centre\, and the Black American Studies program at ETSU. The McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School provides a comprehensive program through Jonesborough’s Mary B. Martin Program for the Arts which teaches various art skills to all participants through a quality program of instruction open to all segments of Jonesborough’s population. The Heritage Alliance is a non-profit 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. The Langston Centre is a cultural facility that promotes multicultural awareness and workforce development through arts\, education\, and leadership activities. The Black American Studies program serves a critical role for the College of Arts & Sciences and ETSU by offering high-quality academic course offerings\, superb programming\, and opportunities for personal growth through service.

If not\, the Chester Inn State Historic Site and Museum is hosting an Open House on Thursday\, March 9th from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm. Come by and check out the historic site after hours and view our new exhibits. If you have visited in the past\, we encourage you to come back and visit again. The Open House will also be the perfect opportunity to learn about becoming a volunteer for the museum. \n  \nDo you love history? Do you love talking to people about history? The Chester Inn Museum is currently seeking any and all volunteers to fill a variety of positions. In addition to giving tours and staffing the museum\, we also need volunteers to work with our archival collection\, processing historical documents\, and organizing artifacts. We are looking for Town Tour guides to offer tours exploring the history and architecture of Jonesborough. Guides are also needed to give tours of Jonesborough’s historic cemeteries. We invite you to come learn more about these exciting opportunities at our Open House. \n  \nThe Chester Inn Museum is open March and April on Mondays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays from 11-6 pm\, and on Sundays from 1-5 pm. From May-October the museum has regular hours 6 days a week before returning to a 4 day weekly schedule in November and December. \n  \nThe Chester Inn Museum is a state-owned historic site and is staffed by the Heritage Alliance\, a local organization dedicated to education and preservation. The museum is an integral part of community outreach\, programming\, and interpretation for the Heritage Alliance. Being a volunteer at the Chester Inn is a great way to get to know your neighbors while also interacting with visitors from around the world. Tens of thousands of people come through the museum every year. \n  \nThe Chester Inn features a first floor museum that has a mixture of permanent and temporary exhibit space. The permanent exhibits include wall panels focusing on the origins and evolution of the inn and the town of Jonesborough. The temporary exhibits feature a rotating mix of artifacts\, photographs\, and other items from the Heritage Alliance’s archival collection and cover a wide range of topics that usually center on local history or putting regional history into a larger context of national and international trends. \n  \nThe 2nd and 3rd floor of the Inn includes a tour of three restored rooms: a dining room\, parlor room\, and lodging room\, all restored to what they would have looked like in the late 19th century. The first floor museum is self-guided\, but the restored rooms’ tour is led by a trained guide. \n  \nThis Chester Inn is funded under an agreement with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation\, Tennessee Historic Commission.

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.

Women have always been central to old-time music — in the home and on the stage\, and as instrumentalists and singers\, preservationists\, activists\, promoters\, and cultural memory keepers. Join the Birthplace of Country Music Museum staff as they introduce their new special exhibit and explore the stories of the women who have been integral to old-time music.” The program will begin at 6:30 pm in the Chester Inn Museum’s Board Room. The program is free and open to the public! \n  \nThe 2023 season of History Happy Hour will run from April through November with a new program every third Thursday of the month.

Last year the picnic took us to Telford. This year\, we’re visiting one of Johnson City’s oldest communities. This event will include a tour of the historic grounds and buildings and a chance to have a picnic lunch on the lawn. Tickets include the tour\, admission to the museum\, and a boxed lunch from Main Street Café. \nPer the Knob Creek Historical Museum’s website\, “The Knob Creek Vineyards and Historical Area is located in the heart of Johnson City on acreage that has been owned by the Sherfey family since 1885. The site is a functioning farm and vineyard that has been in continual operation for over 200 years earning Knob Creek the designation of being a Century Farm by the state of Tennessee. In addition to the vineyards and farm at Knob Creek\, there is a two story museum on site\, as well as several historical structures including a log cabin\, caboose\, tobacco farm\, weaver’s cottage\, and historic dairy cellar. Some of the buildings\, such as the Duncan Cabin\, have been well preserved on the site and are available for tours.” \nThe site was home to George and Margaret Holley. They were instrumental in preserving local history\, especially the history of the Knob Creek Community. They started the museum and today their daughter Deanna Carey cares for the collection of thousands of artifacts. Please note that these are historic buildings and they include stairs\, uneven ground\, and tight spaces. Good walking shoes are required for this event.  “This is the perfect event for Mother’s Day weekend\,” says Heritage Alliance Executive Director Anne Mason. “Bring mom out for a lovely picnic and some fascinating history.” This event will also be a chance to see the Knob Creek Museum before it opens for its 2023 season. \nThere are four tour and lunch slots available on May 13th at 11:30 pm\, 1:00 pm\, 2:30 pm\, and 4:00 pm. There are only 20 tickets available per slot\, so make sure you book your tickets fast. The cost is $30.00 per person. This event is a unique fundraiser for the educational programs of the Heritage Alliance and the Knob Creek Historical Museum. You can purchase tickets online through the Town of Jonesborough’s ticketing system at Jonesborough.com/tickets. You can also call the Visitor’s Center at 423.753.1010. \nThe Knob Creek Historical Museum is located at 243 Denny Mill Road.
