In the Vol 31 #1 March 2013 Reflections there is a
Calendar of Events error. For the Snuffer Lea
Cemetery Dedication, the date is May 25th (an all
day event starting at 11 am) not May 26th. We
apologize for this error.
Respectfully yours,
Debra Fultz, Administrative Assistant

Plans are
underway for the second phase of the restoration of the OLD
Jail! We hope to be able to start the re-pointing work on the
bricks and mortar to continue to prevent further deterioration
of the inside.
This work is being funded in part with funds
from the Historical Preservation Fund under an agreement with
the National Park Service and the Tennessee Historical
Commission.
We are grateful for the grant but our fundraising
efforts have just begun. To continue to receive grants we need
to raise matching funds for continuing restoration. Please send
donations to: PO Box 32, Tazewell, TN 37879 or call our office:
423-526-5737 for more information.
PROGRESS!!
