    A regional guide to summer fun in the Upper Cumberlands 2009 2 TRAVEL GUIDE 2009 CROSSVILLE CHRONICLE Sit back, relax and ENJOY YOUR STAY elcome to Cumberland County, Tennessee! Wheather you enjoy spending your time in the great outdoors enjoying Wnature, catching a round of golf, shopping, enjoying world-class live theatrical productions or delving into history, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our professional theater, the Cumberland County Playhouse, serves up drama, musicals, original produc- tions and a concert series. It also holds the distinction of being the largest rural professional theater in the country. Concerts and local productions run the gamut for the historic Palace Theatre on Crossville’s Main St. School concerts and special presentations of area musicians are among the many, many activities going on in the 1930s art-deco structure which stands as the “jewel of Main St.” When the theaters go dark, there are other places and things to explore. Crossville Outlet Center has more than 20 stores offering brand-name merchandise. Antique shops are plentiful throughout the county, and there are several consignment shops for folks looking for a bargain. Cumberland Mountain State Park is one of the pre- mier parks in the Tennessee park system. Cabins are available for lodging, and the park also offers camping, paddleboating, canoeing, an Olympic-sized swim- ming pool, fishing, hiking, picnicking and play areas, and tennis courts. There is also a meeting facility and restaurant for the family reunions, a dinner out and other activities. The park’s Crab Orchard stone arched bridge is a crowning jewel for one of the county’s best treasures.

  • Clement, Frank Goad (1920-1969) Papers, 1920-1969
    CLEMENT, FRANK GOAD (1920-1969) PAPERS, 1920-1969 Processed by: Harry A. Stokes Archives & Manuscripts Unit Technical Services Section Tennessee State Library and Archives Accession Number: 94-007 Date Completed: May 15, 1995 Location: XIX-A-E Microfilm Accession Number: 1512 INTRODUCTION This finding aid covers the personal papers of Frank Goad Clement (1920-1969). Mr. Clement served three terms as Governor of Tennessee: 1953-1955; 1955-1959; and 1963-1967. Previously he was a former F. B. I. agent, Chief Counsel for the State Public Utilities Commission; and a practicing Attorney in Dickson and Nashville, Tennessee. The Tennessee State Library and Archives received these materials on March 14, 1991, from the Clement family, through the agency of F. Lynne Bachleder for the State of Tennessee via contract with Designing Eye of Martinsville, Virginia. Mr. Clement’s papers include certificates, clippings, correspondence, financial records, invitations and programs, legal files, political campaign materials, photographs, schedules, and scrapbooks and speeches, all reflective of his professional career. Mr. Clement’s papers, along with other Clement historical artifacts, were housed for many years in the old Halbrook Hotel in Dickson, Tennessee. Mr. Clement’s mother, Maybelle Goad Clement, and her parents formerly owned and operated the Halbrook Hotel. The Frank G. Clement artifacts are presently in storage at the Tennessee State Museum. The inclusive dates of the material is for the period 1920 through 1969, although the bulk of the material is concentrated between 1952 through 1969. Many of the clippings in the scrapbooks were loose and had to be reaffixed to the pages.

CLUB BUSINESS AT THE PUT-IN We have the full moon evening picnic coming up on August 12. (Please note the date change!) We are still looking for trips for August and September. Consider organizing a trip to the August waterfall clinic at the Tygart’s Valley Falls or offering to lead a trip while at the New River Rendezvous over the Labor Day weekend. There are still releases on the Lehigh and Stonycreek as well as the Riverkeeper River Palooza events. There are possible Jennings Randolph Lake releases for Bloomington on August 26-27 and September 16-17. These seem more likely given the 7000 cfs released from the dam July 29 and the 4000 cfs of water that I watched pour over nearby Swallow Falls this weekend. We recently have been enlightened by Barb Brown’s paddling history presentation, Beth Koller’s WV WOR slide show, and a video about paddling the steep rivers dropping into Lake Superior. (Indeed, the St. Louis River, which is near Duluth, MN, is the site of the Paddle-Mania Festival held there last weekend.) Now take a crack at some of the boating trivia questions. If you have some river pictures that you could put into a slide show, please talk to Beth about the program she used, ProshowGold. It allows you to rearrange JPG or TIFF pictures, apply text to photos, insert title and text slides, download music and sound effects from their library, and control the timing of the slides and music.
