Listen "Our Grand Divisions"
Episode Synopsis
There aren’t many states like Tennessee with three distinct regions so unique each has its own star on the state flag.West, Middle, and East Tennessee are not just general directions to help explain where we’re from. They're lines drawn in state law representing our cultural heritage and political history. Because Mountain City is a long way from Memphis — in fact, it’s closer to Canada than the western corner of our state — we’re talking with historians about how we divided ourselves up this way. Guests
Jeff Sellers, Tennessee State Museum Director of Education & Community Engagement
Warren Dockter, President and CEO of East Tennessee Historical Society
Walter Battle, UT Institute of Agriculture
