  • Civil War Trail
    Crescent Bend During the Civil War, Crescent Bend was used by both Union and Confederate Armies as a command center and hospital. Thousands of soldiers encamped and fought skirmishes on its farmland. It is also noteworthy for this era for possibly being a safe house on the Underground Railroad. A hidden trapdoor beneath the main staircase led to a room where runaway slaves were sheltered. Drury Armstrong's Crescent Bend started with 600 acres of land on the north side of the Holston River (now called the Tennessee River). Within a few years he acquired another 300 acres on the south side. He owned several other tracts of land in and around Knoxville, upon one of which a famous Civil War battle, the Battle of Armstrong's Hill, would be fought. In addition to these land holdings, he also owned 50,000 acres of wooded and pastoral mountain land in Sevier and Blount Counties, Tennessee. He gave the name “Glen Alpine” to his land between the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River and the East Prong of the Little Tennessee River. This land today makes up about 10% of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. During the Civil War, the house was used by both Union and Confederate Armies as a command center and hospital. Thousands of soldiers encamped and fought skirmishes on Crescent Bend farmland. Originally the Union Army controlled Crescent Bend and built an earthen fortification around the house; began on the western side of the house, wrapped around the back of the house, and connected with Kingston Pike on the east.

Community Meeting Tomorrow to Address Youth Concerns Three Knoxville citizens are asking residents and friends of East Knoxville, Mechanicsville, Lonsdale, Beaumont and Western Heights to attend a “Saving Our Community” meeting tomorrow night, Wednesday, Dec. 9, to address concerns about young people in the community. The meeting will run from 7-9 p.m. at Vine Middle Magnet School, 1807 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. The three organizers are Rev. Sanford Miller, pastor of New Salem Baptist Church; Maurice Clark, a coach of community youth sports teams; and Rick Staples, chair of the mentorship committee of One Hundred Black Men of Knoxville. Clark is also founder of One Nation by Conviction, a social justice organization that advocates against the disparity in drug sentencing laws. Miller, Clark and Staples are seeking ideas and inspiration for working more effectively with young people who, despite efforts by community members, are still turning to violence and crime. Recent suicides and attempted suicides by young people have prompted this meeting, Staples said. “This burdens my heart,” Staples said.

  • Near-West Knoxville Historic Driving Tour Kingston Pike/Cherokee Blvd/Lyons View Pike/Northshore Dr
    NEAR-WEST KNOXVILLE HISTORIC DRIVING TOUR KINGSTON PIKE/CHEROKEE BLVD/LYONS VIEW PIKE/NORTHSHORE DR Start at the entrance to Tyson Park at 2500 Tyson McGhee Park Street. Total Driving Distance = 8.4 miles 1. TYSON PARK One of Knoxville’s older parks, the Third Creek bottomland had been used by the public since the 1890s, even when it was privately owned and had a makeshift nine-hole golf course on it. But in 1929, Bettie Tyson formally donated the land to the city with an extraordinary proviso: that the city’s airport should always be named for her son, McGhee Tyson, a Navy airman killed in a crash in the North Sea during World War I. 2.. TYSON JUNIOR HIGH 0.2 miles ahead on right Built in 1936 and named in honor of Bettie’s husband, Lawrence Davis Tyson, the World War I general and later U.S. senator who had recently died in office, Tyson was a well-known public school with some facilities considered to be superior to those of nearby UT, which sometimes used the school for public events, like dramatic presentations. It operated as a school for half a century, closing in 1986. Empty for several years, it was handsomely redesigned as an office building in the 1990s. 3.. OAKWOOD 0.1 miles ahead on right The historic home next to Tyson Junior at the corner of Kingston Pike and Concord, Known as Oakwood, it was built in 1870 by the prominent McClung family. For half a century it was a semi-rural residence with a small farm attached.
