  • 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.

  • Lyons View Pike Historic District
    LYONS VIEW PIKE HISTORIC DISTRICT STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE AND HISTORY The Lyons View Pike H-1 (Historic Overlay) District draws its first historic significant from its association with early Knox County resident William Lyon and Knoxville’s frontier expansion. The buildings along Lyons View Pike also represent the community and financial leadership and status of its early 20th century residents, including Hal B. Mebane, Jr., J. Allen Smith, and N. E. Logan. The district is an excellent example of automobile related suburban expansion in the first third of the 20th century. Finally, the buildings are some of the best local representations of national trends in architectural design. They were designed by regionally noteworthy architect Charles I. Barber, whose skill in interpreting the revival styles popular in this time period is widely accepted. Early Development Lyons View Pike dates to the early days of Knoxville’s history. After the construction of James White Fort in 1786, the frontier continued to expand to the west. Other forts and stations developed along the horseback trails leading westward from the City of Knoxville. By 1795, the horseback trail had been re-built as a wagon road, covering a 15-mile route from downtown Knoxville to Campbell’s Station. The road, later known as Kingston Pike, was the first improved roadway in Knox County. The construction of Kingston Pike encouraged settlers to move into the area along Fourth Creek, and with the settlers came new roads linking the settlements to each other, to downtown, to new settlements further west and to the river, which complemented roads as a primary mode of transportation.

    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.
