  • A History of Tennessee.Indd
    352 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 353 SECTION VI Tennessee 354 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 355 A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE The Land and Native People Tennessee’s great diversity in land, climate, rivers, and plant and animal life is mirrored by a rich and colorful past. For all but the last 200 years of the 12,000 years or so that this country has been inhabited, the story of Tennessee is the story of its native peoples. The fact that Tennessee and many of the places in it still carry Indian names serves as a lasting reminder of the significance of its native inhabit- ants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for her ancient people as well as for later pioneer settlers lay with the richness and beauty of the land, it seems fitting to begin by considering some of the state’s generous natural gifts. Tennessee divides naturally into three “grand divisions”—upland, often moun- tainous, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee with its foothills and basin, and the low plain of West Tennessee. Travelers coming to the state from the east encounter first the lofty Unaka and Smoky Mountains, flanked on their western slope by the Great Valley of East Tennessee. Moving across the Valley floor, they next face the Cumberland Plateau, which historically attracted little settlement and presented a barrier to westward migration. West of the Plateau, one descends into the Cen- tral Basin of Middle Tennessee—a rolling, fertile countryside that drew hunters and settlers alike. The Central Basin is surrounded on all sides by the Highland Rim, the western ridge of which drops into the Tennessee River Valley.

Historic Nashville, Inc. was originally chartered in 1968 as “The Historic Sites Federation of Tennessee.” In 1975, the name and mission changed in response to the urgency of threats to historic landmarks in Nashville. The nonprofit 501(c)3 organization became “Historic Nashville, Inc.” with the mission to “preserve and promote the historic places that make Nashville unique.” Over the years, HNI has successfully advocated for the preservation of many downtown landmarks, including the Ryman Auditorium, Union Station, Hermitage Hotel, Shelby Street Bridge, and the Second Avenue, Printer’s Alley, Lower Broadway, and East Nashville historic districts. In 1982, HNI established the state’s first Preservation Easement program and currently owns easements on 16 historic landmarks with a market value of nearly $50 million. HNI hosts an annual membership meeting, publishes a newsletter, maintains a website, gives special tours of local historic landmarks, launched the annual “Nashville Nine” endangered properties list in 2009, and maintains a revolving fund.

  • Tennessee's Historic Hotels As
    Tennessee’s Historic Hotels as “Landscape Artifacts,” “Community Symbols,” and “Tools of Community Revitalization” Source: from the Author’s collection circa 1930 Prepared by: MTSU Center for Historic Preservation and the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area Ginna Foster Cannon, Ph.D. August 2018 1 Preface This resource guide is intended to provide historical context and useful hints for individuals and communities in Tennessee interested in preserving a historic hotel or converting a historic property into a hotel and the types of financial structures and incentives that have been instrumental in helping to bring the projects to fruition. It can be read as a standalone piece or as a companion piece to my dissertation, “An Exploration of Tennessee’s Historic Hotels as Cultural Heritage Tourism Assets” (2017) which focused on the intersecting interests of public historians, cultural heritage tourism professionals, and historic hotel professionals namely their focus on compelling stories, preservation and authenticity using Tennessee as an example.1 As “landscape artifacts” and “community symbols,” historic hotels have the potential to not only be a draw for a tourist destination but also act as anchors in community development.2 Introduction In “The City Hotel as Landscape Artifact and Community Symbol,” Karl B. Raitz and John Paul Jones, III argued that hotels and their precursors taverns were cornerstones of urban development, “landscape artifacts” that “marked the early business and social core of cities” and symbols of “community progress and achievement, as well as investment opportunity.”3 While this is not a new argument, 1 Ginna Foster Cannon, “An Exploration of Tennessee’s Historic Hotels as Cultural Heritage Assets,” (Ph.D.

The ballet was created specifically for middle and high school students. Through dance, music, and just a few spoken word moments, 72 Steps ballet takes us on a multi-year, historical journey that expresses the struggle and triumphs of many women and some men who fought for and against ratification. Performed by Nashville Ballet 2 dancers, many of whom have just reached voting age, the performance is designed to spark a dialogue about past and modern- day barriers to a unified and equitable society. The dance is performed by six female and two male dancers. The shedding and donning of men’s jackets – by men and women – allows performers to show, without words, how some women joined the men who fought against ratification, and how some men joined the women’s suffrage cause.
