New Thematic Trail Brochure

Furs to Factories: Exploring the Industrial Revolution in the Tennessee Overhill
This new trail brochure is titled Furs to Factories: Exploring the Industrial Revolution in the Tennessee Overhill. There are many stories about this part of the Upland South, but one of the most compelling is the story of the Industrial Revolution and how it played out in the Tennessee Overhill. This brochure presents brief overviews of the changes over time and suggests places to learn the rest of the story. The brochure directs visitors to living history museums, historic sites, and landscapes to examine how Cherokee Indians, European fur traders, farmers, loggers, copper miners, textile workers, and dam builders shaped this land and its lifeways.

For copies of the new brochures, or questions, contact the Tennessee Overhill;


One of our staff is also available for step-on guide services in the Overhill.
