This mini-course will explore the many fascinating layers of Chattanooga’s dramatic and colorful history, and will include some of its quirkier stories. It will also feature artifacts from the History Center’s collection, some of which are under consideration for use in the new exhibits for the new facility in the River Place Building on the Tennessee Aquarium Plaza.

 

For history... does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do.
