on local history and heritage. Members of the organization are planning a variety of future
programs, exhibits, activities, and community events.
The museum is located at 337 Carter Street in Bluff City, behind the Impact Community Center (ICC),

local history and heritage while attending special presentations throughout the summer.

The talks are open to the public, and free. In addition to guest speakers, the museum plans to
host various summer activities and craft events for the community. The Friends of the Holston
