TN History For Kids » July 2025 Inservices: Greeneville; Downtown Nashville; Discovery Park of America

Here’s an event we did at Discovery Park of America in 2019.

In July 2025, Tennessee History for Kids will produce three all-day summer inservices — one in each Grand Division of the state.

We will announce these events formally in December 2024.

However, just so you know what we are planning:

One will be in Greeneville, at the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site and General Morgan Inn. It will include a walking tour of the Andrew Johnson Mansion and a trip to the grave of President Johnson.

A second will be in Downtown Nashville. It will have a Civil Rights theme and it will include a walking tour through Downtown Nashville.

The third will be at Discovery Park of America in Union City, in northwest Tennessee. It will include a detailed tour of Discovery Park of America — which you REALLY need to see if you haven’t yet.

We are currently working on dates, venues, speakers, etc.

Stay tuned for more!

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

Here are photos from the summer events we staged in previous years:

In July 2023, our teachers got an unforgettable insiders tour of Norris Dam, led by TVA employees.

We told these teachers at the Discovery Park of America not to have too much fun, but they ignored our request.

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