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.

Durham The State of State History in Tennessee in 2008 The Underground Railroad in Tennessee to 1865 A Report by State Historian Walter T. Durham Tennessee State Library and Archives Department of State Nashville, Tennessee 37243 Jeanne D. Sugg State Librarian and Archivist Department of State, Authorization No. 305294, 2000 copies November 2008. This public document was promulgated at a cost of $1.77 per copy. Preface and Acknowledgments In 2004 and again in 2006, I published studies called The State of State History in Tennessee. The works surveyed the organizations and activities that preserve and interpret Tennessee history and bring it to a diverse public. This year I deviate by making a study of the Under- ground Railroad in Tennessee and bringing it into the State of State History series. No prior statewide study of this re- markable phenomenon has been produced, a situation now remedied. During the early nineteenth century, the number of slaves escaping the South to fi nd freedom in the northern states slowly increased. The escape methodologies and ex- perience, repeated over and over again, became known as the Underground Railroad. In the period immediately after the Civil War a plethora of books and articles appeared dealing with the Underground Railroad. Largely written by or for white men, the accounts contained recollections of the roles they played in assisting slaves make their escapes. There was understandable exag- geration because most of them had been prewar abolitionists who wanted it known that they had contributed much to the successful fl ights of a number of slaves, oft times at great danger to themselves.
