The group we had on July 11 met at the Tea Room at Norris Dam State Park, where the staff was wonderful.

The highlight of the Norris Dam event was a TVA sponsored tour of the dam itself.

Up close, Norris Dam is massive, as the teachers learned.

We are grateful to the folks at TVA and Norris Dam — including Tommy Bell, Bryan Johnson and Justin Maierhofer — for helping this event take place

Here is the crowd we had at Carnton/Carter in Franklin on July 14.

At our July 18 event at the Capitol, our teachers got to congregate on the House floor.

Representative Sam Whitson, who is on the board of Tennessee History for Kids, spoke to our teachers on July 18.

No Tennessee History for Kids Nashville inservice would be complete without a David Ewing-led walking tour.

Our inservices were co-sponsored by BlueCross Blue Shield of Tennessee and Tennessee Valley Authority.

Here are photos from the summer events we staged in 2021 and 2022:

Here’s David Ewing speaking to our group in downtown Nashville in July 2022.

A peacock photo-bombed these teachers at the Museum of Appalachia in July 2021

We managed to cross a busy street in Knoxville without a single teacher being hit by a car!

The incomparable Ray Smith tells teachers about Oak Ridge

Park ranger Chris Young did a great tour at the top of Lookout Mountain, but there were teachers who did selfies during his talk.
