A History Of Greene County

Greeneville and Greene County are both named in honor of General Nathanael Greene, a Rhode Island Quaker who joined the revolutionary army under General George Washington.

Greene, a protégé of Washington and one of his most trusted officers, became an outstanding American general who led in the defeat of British forces in the South. After the Revolutionary War, Greene died at age 45. He never visited this area.

Water from the spring that brought settlers to this area still runs quietly into Richland Creek, behind the Greeneville-Greene County Public Library on North Main Street.

Before the settlers came to what is now Greene County, the Big Spring was a water source for Native Americans who lived in the area.

The spring continued to serve as the leading local water source for more than 150 years after the Town of Greeneville was established in the early 1780s.

DATES FROM EARLY 1780S

What initially began as a tiny frontier village on a 300-acre tract of land thought to have been a Revolutionary War grant to Robert Kerr, Greeneville has grown into a modern, thriving community of approximately 15,000 residents.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau estimates, Greene County had 69,069 inhabitants in 2019.

The approximate founding date for Greene County is 1783 — the year the Greene County Court, predecessor of

today’s Greene County Commission, first met in Kerr’s home, which stood near the Big Spring.

According to the book “Greeneville: One Hundred Year Portrait, 1775-1875,” authored by the late Richard Harrison Doughty, Greeneville is believed to have become the county seat (instead of other Greene County communities such as Rheatown or Warrensburg) because Kerr offered to grant property for use as a seat of the county government.

The formal layout plans for Greeneville were created in 1786, according to Doughty’s book. The town was incorporated in 1796, when Tennessee became the 16th state, and was reincorporated in 1817, according to the late Tom Siler’s book, “Tennessee Towns: From Adams to Yorkville.”

Greeneville also served as the capital of the short-lived state of Franklin from 1785 until 1788. The “Lost State of Franklin” fell just short of congressional approval for statehood.

CROCKETT, JOHNSON

David “Davy” Crockett, frontiersman, congressman and folk hero, was born in the Limestone area of eastern Greene County in 1786. He died in Texas in 1836 among fellow defenders of the Alamo during the war for Texas independence from Mexico.

Andrew Johnson, 17th president of the United States, was born in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1808, but he called Greeneville his home from 1826 until his death in 1875. Johnson and his family are buried in the Andrew Johnson

Statue of Andrew Johnson

For the 2021 budget year, the Greeneville property tax rate was $2.1775 per $100 of assessed value.

The assessment rate for residential and agricultural property in Tennessee is 25 percent of the appraised value. For example, a $100,000 tract of residential or agricultural property would be assessed for tax purposes as having a value of $25,000.

Commercial and industrial property is assessed at 40 percent of appraised value.

HISTORY FROM 5

National Cemetery in Greeneville. The location is also referred to as Monument Hill.

Johnson’s South Main Street home and his downtown tailor shop, the latter of which became an informal center for political debates in Greeneville during Johnson’s time, are open to the public and maintained as a National Historic Site by the National Park Service. Furniture from the period is displayed in the home’s interior. The tailor shop is enclosed within the site’s Visitor Center and Museum.

Another historic site pertaining to Johnson is his earlier Greeneville residence, located across College Street from the Visitor Center and tailor shop. This “Early Home,” as it is called, is also now open for public view.

A replica of the house in Raleigh in which Andrew Johnson was born sits directly across the street from the 1830s home.

GENERAL JOHN HUNT MORGAN

During the Civil War, Greeneville changed hands numerous times between Union and Confederate forces.

Although the state as a whole had voted to secede from the Union, East Tennessee was an island of predominantly Unionist sentiment within the South.

At times during the war years, colorful but controversial Confederate cavalry leader General John Hunt Morgan was an overnight guest of Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Williams, of Greeneville.

Admirers often referred to General Morgan as “The Thunderbolt of the Confederacy,” a reference to his lightning-fast raids deep into Union-dominated territory. His men were known as “Morgan’s Raiders.”

On the morning of Sept. 4, 1864, Morgan was shot to death on the grounds of

the Williams home during a surprise attack by federal troops. He had spent the previous night at the Williams home.

The brick residence, a famed showplace home from the early 1820s through the Civil War, has been restored as a house museum and now is called the Dickson-Williams Mansion.

(Daily 90-minute tours start at 1 p.m. from the lobby of The General Morgan Inn.)

The present-day General Morgan Inn, a one-time railroad hotel formerly named Grand Central Hotel and then Hotel Brumley, which closed in 1981, stands not far from the site where Morgan was shot.

The century-old hotel was renovated in the 1990s and re-named in the slain Confederate general’s memory.

The hotel was the key element of a $15 million public-private downtown revitalization project known as Morgan Square. The new General Morgan Inn opened in 1996. Further renovations occurred in 2007.

BOTH SIDES HONORED

Greeneville is thought to be one of the few towns that honor both Union and Confederate forces on government property.

Two monuments relating to the Civil War period stand on the lawn of the Greene County Courthouse.

One, a statue of a standing Union soldier, is dedicated to local troops who served in the Grand Army of the Republic (Union army).

The other, a granite slab with engraved text dealing with General Morgan’s life and death, memorializes the fallen Confederate cavalry leader who died only a block away.

Walking Tours Showcase Downtown Greeneville’s History

Historic landmarks throughout downtown Greeneville connect its past with its present and future.

Although Greeneville is now thriving in the 21st century, reminders evidence that Andrew Johnson, 17th president of the United States, called the area his home more than 150 years ago.

Visiting these historic places can make the past come alive.

“A Walk With The President” is a tour brochure provided for those interested in walking or driving on a self-guided tour that allows you to see the sites that were once very familiar to President Johnson.

The latest edition is available at

the Greene County Partnership, 115 Academy St., or at the Andrew Johnson Visitor Center, where College and East Depot streets meet in downtown Greeneville.

“A Walk With The President” details the historic sites and provides a map for the tour.

Through an agreement between Main Street: Greeneville and the National Park Service, two professionally guided walking tours of historic points in downtown Greeneville are offered from April through October. The first is a 90 minute walking tour which departs the lobby of the General Morgan Inn Monday-Saturday at 9:30 a.m.

Tours of the Dickson-Williams Mansion are also available. They are available year-round except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, and depart from the General Morgan Inn daily at 1 p.m. January and February may have limited availability due to weather. Call Main Street Tours at 423-639-7102 for more information or visit their website at www.mainstreetgreeneville.org.

DIAL AND DISCOVER TOUR

The National Park Service is offering a new way to experience the Historic District in downtown Greeneville.

The Andrew Johnson OnCell Audio Tour is a self-guided tour that allows

people to visit some of the major stops and hear the stories all with the convenience of their cell phones or smartphones.

The tour covers 10 historic sites, including the Dickson-Williams Mansion and the Andrew Johnson sites.

All one has to do is stop at the sites listed, call the audio tour number and hear all of the information about the particular place. The tour takes about 20 minutes and can be either walked or driven.

The Andrew Johnson OnCell Audio Tour flier, which includes a list and map of the sites, along with the audio tour number and directions, is a free service and can be picked up at the Andrew Johnson Visitors Center. Website: https://anjo.oncell.com/ en/index.html

Andrew Johnson Homestead

JOHNSON’S BACKGROUND

Born on Dec. 29, 1808, in Raleigh, North Carolina, Johnson was only 3 years old when his father died. His mother raised him and eventually apprenticed him to a tailor when he was 14. Abandoning his apprenticeship, Johnson moved to Greeneville in 1826, along with his mother, his brother and their stepfather.

Only a year later, Johnson married Eliza McCardle. Supported by his wife and customers, Johnson advanced his education and began developing the strongly constitutional philosophy that marked his politics.

Johnson operated his tailor shop in a clapboard building typical of the day, often debating local, state and national political issues with friends as he cut and stitched clothing.

Rising to the position of Greeneville alderman in 1829, Johnson moved forward from there in successive leadership roles at the local, state and national levels to hold the highest office in the land in 1865.

The places indicated in all-capital letters below are the tour sites listed in “A Walk

With The President” and are numbered on the map in the brochure. Other historical sites not officially included as part of the tour — such as some of Greeneville’s older private homes — are occasionally mentioned, but not printed in all-capitals.

Preserved inside a brick structure, which also houses the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site Visitors Center, is the ANDREW JOHNSON TAILOR SHOP. This location is where the “Walk With The President” begins.

Visitors can see the tailor shop, along with a table made by Johnson’s brother, Tyler, and a stove that was used to heat small buildings of the day.

The sound of footsteps on the wooden floor, the noise of shears snipping cloth, and other sound effects are used to bring the tailor/president to life.

Some of the newer displays in the museum include the “Polk jewelry,” given to Martha Johnson, daughter of Andrew, by Sarah Childress Polk, wife of President James K. Polk, while Johnson was still a member of Congress, and Eliza Johnson’s sewing kit.

There is also a display case that features different artifacts every three months. A short film provides visitors with an introduction to the site as well as to Johnson’s political and personal life.

Across College Street from the visitors center stands the ANDREW JOHNSON HOME (1838-1851), often referred to as “The 1830s Home.” Johnson and his family lived in this two-story brick house before moving to his more elegant home, called “The Homestead,” on South Main Street, which will be mentioned later.

Included with the decor of the 1830s house are historical displays about Johnson’s life up until the time of his presidency.

Across Depot Street from the Visitor Center, a bronze statue of Andrew Johnson gazes solemnly at the world.

Jim Gray, a noted East Tennessee artist and sculptor, executed the work, which was erected in 1995 as a gift to the community from the estate of the late Margaret Johnson Patterson Bartlett, greatgranddaughter of Johnson.

Across College Street from the statue,

a Johnson-related point of interest now stands. A former tobacco warehouse on the corner of the intersection was torn down, and the site is now home to the newest Johnson-related monument: a replica of the very modest North Carolina structure in which Johnson was born.

All four corners of the Depot Street/ College Street/Academy Street intersection, now officially designated by the town as Andrew Johnson Square, are occupied by memorials to the 17th president.

OLD HARMONY GRAVEYARD is next on the tour. This historic site is where many important former residents of the community were laid to rest.

The site is located directly behind Greeneville Town Hall.

The site was established as a cemetery in 1791 in connection with what was then Harmony Presbyterian Church.

That congregation evolved into today’s First Presbyterian Church, which will be visited later on the tour route. SEE WALKING PAGE 18

Some of the Scots-Irish settlers of Greeneville are buried in Old Harmony Graveyard.

Other notables who rest in Old Harmony Graveyard include Mordecai Lincoln, Dr. Hezekiah Balch, Dr. Charles Coffin, Valentine Sevier, William Dickson, Dr. Alexander Williams and Blackstone McDannel.

Soldiers who were in every American war from the Revolution through the Civil War are buried there.

The next site is nearby GREENEVILLE TOWN HALL. This classical-style building, completed in 1967, stands on historic grounds.

The church that later became Greeneville’s First Presbyterian Church was on this site. At another time, the home of Judge Sam Milligan, a contemporary of Johnson, stood on the grounds.

A pioneering abolitionist newspaper, published by a Quaker named Benjamin Lundy during the 1822-1824 period, was located on or near this site.

The newspaper was called the Genius of Universal Emancipation. While in Greeneville, Lundy also published a weekly paper, the Economist and Political Paper. After 1824, the Genius was moved to Baltimore.

Jeffers Funeral & Cremation Services, next door to town hall, occupies an 1893 Victorian house, initially the M.P. Reeve home.

From town hall, go across College Street to the Roby Fitzgerald Adult Center. Greeneville’s first public school was operated out of this building.

Opening in the early 1890s, it eventually came to be known as Roby Fitzgerald School, named for Miss Roby Fitzgerald, a much-admired and loved principal and teacher who educated many Greeneville citizens within the school’s brick walls.

Today the building houses the Roby Fitzgerald Adult Center (a senior citizens’ facility), and the RSVP and ACCESS programs.

Next to the Roby Fitzgerald Adult Center is a small log cabin that is a representation of the CAPITOL OF THE LOST STATE OF FRANKLIN

From 1785 to 1788, Greeneville was the capital of the short-lived “Lost State of Franklin.”

In 1796, this area became part of Tennessee when the state was established.

The structure represents the style of a building, shown in early photographs, that was reported to have been the actual capitol building of the “lost state.”

The original capitol stood on the site of the existing Greene County Courthouse.

Behind the representation of the Franklin capitol and adjacent to the Greeneville-Greene County Library is BICENTENNIAL PARK, developed in 1983 in celebration of Greeneville’s 200th birthday.

Near the park is the BIG SPRING, which runs through a picturesque stone-lined moat under a quaint, arching footbridge. Many years ago, it was simply a wilderness spring that attracted game, Native Americans, and, finally, settlers who became the first residents of Greeneville.

Samuel Doak, famed frontier preacher, is said to have preached at this spring. For more than 150 years, the Big Spring served as the town’s major water supply.

Close by the Big Spring is one of Greeneville’s two VALENTINE SEVIER HOUSES.

Valentine Sevier, a nephew of John Sevier, Tennessee’s first governor — who also was governor of Franklin and an early settler — built this house around 1820. It is a private residence now.

Heading up North Main Street at the Spencer Street intersection, one next encounters the HENEGAR TRIM HOUSE, which dates from immediately after the Civil War. A few doors up from the Henegar Trim House is the JAMES M. FOWLER HOUSE, built in the 1850s.

Dr. Fowler’s wedding coat was made by Andrew Johnson and is on display in the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site Visitor Center, which includes Johnson’s tailor shop.

The RIPLEY HOUSE (1868) and the EDMUND B. MILLER HOUSE (1856) are examples of Greek Revival architecture. During the Civil War, Miller, a Union supporter, may have been the individual who led Union troops to Greeneville, where their attack led to the death of Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan. Other historic homes across North Main above Spencer are HARMONY HOUSE, a beautiful two-story brick home built in 1851, and ANTRIM, a combination of two restored, linked log structures originally built by Thomas Alexander at a different Greene County site, and brought to North Main. Antrim has for years been nestled among the trees at the rear and to the north side of Harmony House. The owners carefully disassembled the two log houses and relocated, combined and expanded them into their residence at a site about 20 feet closer to the front of the lot.

Confederate soldiers camped in the backyard during the Civil War. Harmony House was the home of Dr. W.A. Harmon, who was a teacher at Rhea Academy in

the 1850s and was also a physician and a lawyer.

Heading back down Main Street into the downtown area, one soon encounters the property upon which once stood the ROBERT KERR HOUSE. Kerr was the man who provided land to Greene County for use as a county seat.

His provision of that land is believed to have been the key reason why Greeneville, and not some other Greene County community, became the county seat.

Kerr’s log house also served as a tavern and a meeting place for the Upper House of the State of Franklin legislature.

Greeneville’s First Baptist Church stands on the old Kerr property.

Just past the old Kerr property is the site where the GREENEVILLE CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, founded in 1841 with 30 charter members, stands at the corner of Main and Church streets. The structure is another example of Greek Revival architecture.

The church’s best known feature is a cannonball, which is representative of the one that slammed into the front wall on Sept. 4, 1864, the day Gen. John Hunt Morgan was killed nearby.

Just around the corner and across West Church Street stands ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH, occupying a beautiful, traditional church building. Built in 1850 and designed by George M. Spencer, this white frame church’s interior features walnut woodwork and pews, a one-time slave gallery (now the choir loft), and the oldest organ in Tennessee.

A sign in the churchyard states, “The center of this block was once the garden of the Williams House [now known as the Dickson-Williams Mansion] where Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan of Morgan’s Raiders fame and his staff were billeted. Just after dawn, a detail of Brig. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem’s Federal forces slipped past Confederate outposts, surrounded the house, surprised and killed Morgan and captured his staff.”

At the intersection of Irish and Church streets, one will discover the restored DICKSON-WILLIAMS MANSION (referred to previously as “the Williams House”).

Once an East Tennessee showplace residence, the house was built by Greeneville’s first postmaster, William Dickson, between 1815 and 1821 for his daughter, Catharine, as a future wedding present.

In 1823, when she was married, the fine brick home became the residence of Catharine Dickson and her husband, Dr. Alexander Williams.

Notables who were entertained there in the ensuing decades included Presidents James K. Polk and Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Mrs. Francis Hodgson Burnett (author of Little Lord Fauntleroy) and Gen. Wade Hampton.

During the Civil War, as Greeneville changed hands, the house was used from time to time as both a Union and a Confederate headquarters, and provided lodging for Gens. Ambrose Burnside and Alvan C. Gillem, of the Union Army, and Gen. Morgan, of the Confederate Army. Tours of the Dickson-Williams Mansion start daily at 1 p.m. from the lobby of the General Morgan Inn. Call Main Street Tours at 423-787-0500 for more information.

Back on Main Street is the FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, at 110 N. Main St. Dating to 1848, the building is an example of federal architecture.

Established in 1780, the church has the earliest origin among Greene County congregations, and grew out of the old Mt. Bethel Church. The church was known as Harmony Church before its name was changed to First Presbyterian Church.

The DRAKE-BROWN HOUSE, built during the 1850s by Lewis J. Drake, stands at 206 S. Irish St. It later became the home of John A. Brown.

The SHEETS HOME is located next door. This establishment later became the family home of Dr. and Mrs. George E. Scott and the location of his dental practice. Today their son, Dr. Haden Scott, practices dentistry there.

The SAMUEL SNAPP HOUSE is next in line, and the RUMBOUGH HOUSE, home of a Confederate officer during the Civil War, is across the street. Both date to the 1840s.

Dickerson-Williams Mansion receiving new shutters

Circling back to South Main Street at East Depot Street on the official “Walk With the President” route, one finds the governmental center of the county at COURTHOUSE SQUARE. Many of Greeneville’s most important historic events have occurred here, dating back to the days when the State of Franklin’s capitol stood there.

Other highlights include the Greeneville Union Convention of June 1861 and the funeral of President Andrew Johnson in 1875. Monuments on the courthouse lawn honor, among others, John Sevier, governor of the State of Franklin and first elected governor of the new Tennessee in 1796; the many Union soldiers from Greene County who served in the Civil War, and Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan.

Near Courthouse Square is the tour’s next stop, the MANSION HOUSE. This house was the site of an 1835 reception for Andrew Jackson. It was also originally the home of John Dickson.

The current appearance of the home differs significantly from the original. Once a two-story brick house with double chimneys, it now houses the business Adams & Plucker, CPA, and looks more like a typical storefront than the residential mansion it originally was.

Farther down South Main Street is the SEVIER-LOWRY HOUSE, Greeneville’s oldest standing structure and the second Valentine Sevier house on the tour route. Though covered with clapboards for more than a century, the core of this 1790s structure is actually constructed of logs. The mantel in the drawing room comes from the law office of Gen. Thomas D. Arnold, an attorney and congressman who lived in Greeneville from about 1830 until his death in 1870. Next door to the Sevier-Lowry house is GREENWOOD, a two-story brick house that was begun in 1810 and expanded in the late 1840s. It was occupied by the McDowell family until the Civil War, then

became the residence of William R. Brown.

Across South Main Street from Greenwood is the ANDREW JOHNSON HOMESTEAD — preserved by the U.S. government as part of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site.

Johnson purchased his first Greeneville home, the brick house near his tailor shop, from Mordecai Lincoln, a second cousin to Abraham Lincoln, and also the man who performed the marriage ceremony of Johnson and Eliza McCardle.

Johnson purchased his first Greeneville home, the brick house near his tailor shop, from Mordecai Lincoln, a second cousin to Abraham Lincoln, and also the man who performed the marriage ceremony of Johnson and Eliza McCardle.

A legal snag kept the title to the house from going through to Johnson for about 20 years.

When Johnson finally received the title, he traded the house along with $950 for the home that most people today associate with him — the Johnson Homestead. During the most momentous years of his public life, this was Johnson’s Tennessee residence.

Open to the public, this house provides a glimpse into the home life of Johnson and his family, and of domestic life generally in the mid-1800s.

On most days, guided tours may be scheduled hourly. Tour arrangements are made at the Andrew Johnson Visitor Center located on College Street at the corner of East Depot Street.

The next stop on the tour is the GREENEVILLE-GREENE COUNTY

HISTORY MUSEUM, on West McKee Street at South Main Street. Reflecting more than 200 years of history, this museum contains artifacts from throughout Greene County illustrating various aspects of life here over the centuries.

THE ANDREW JOHNSON

NATIONAL CEMETERY, with entrances on both Monument Avenue and Crescent Street, was originally known as Signal Hill.

The Greeneville-Greene County Public Library is on North Main Street in downtown Greeneville.

T. ELMER COX HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL LIBRARY

Trying to find an ancestor? Working on a family mystery? If so, then the T. Elmer Cox Historical and Genealogical Library may be able to help.

A branch of Greeneville-Greene County Public Library, the Cox Library is at 229 N. Main St.

The library is named in honor of the late T. Elmer Cox, who was Greene County’s first official historian. His bequest enabled the Greeneville-Greene County Public Library to purchase and renovate the historic building that became the Cox Library. It opened in 2000.

In addition to housing materials amassed by Cox over his lifetime, the Cox Library also contains resources that were formerly located in the Tennessee Room of the main library and original public records from the Greene County Courthouse.

ACQUIRED MANY MATERIALS

Since its opening, the Cox Library has acquired several hundred additional books, periodicals and microfilm items as well as a large body of other materials pertaining to family and local history.

Much of the library consists of an extensive book and periodical collection focusing on Greene County and nearby areas in East Tennessee, Western North Carolina and Southwestern Virginia.

The library’s holdings also include Greene County newspapers, federal census records (entire United States available online), cemetery records (many regional counties), death certificates (all of Tennessee, 1914-1958), maps, North Carolina and East Tennessee land grants, local city directories, Greene County telephone directories, school yearbooks, photograph scrapbooks, genealogy query files, family files, and local history files.

The Cox Library also has free Wifi access for patrons.

COUNTY RECORDS

The Greene County governmental records on file at the Cox Library are of

various types and cover various periods. The earliest of these records begin in 1783.

The records of what the Tennessee State Library and Archives calls “County Court” include a wide variety of material, including some very old records of a time when judicial matters and business matters were handled by the same court.

In the early 1800s, those functions were divided. For the period from 1834 to 1954, the minutes of the local body that handled county business matters have been archived by the state under the broad heading of County Court.

Locally, at least during the 1950s, 1960s and most of the 1970s, what was commonly referred to as County Court was known more formally as County Quarterly Court. Since September 1978, that elected body has been referred to as the Greene County Legislative Body or the Greene County Commission.

Note: The Cox Library does not have any County Court minutes more recent than March 1954. The more recent minutes are maintained by the office of the Greene County Clerk at the Courthouse Annex on Cutler Street.

In the County Court collection, researchers also have access to other kinds of documents, including marriage records (1780-1995), wills (1780-1986), estate settlements (1802-1950), estate inventories (1810-1817, 1828-1952), land deeds (1785-1986), trust deeds (1841-1947), tax lists (various dates, 1783-1913), guardian records (1872-1960), court minutes (1783-1954), miscellaneous loose records (1851-early 1900s), and a few records of various other types. Circuit Court records include Civil Court minutes (1809-1950), and Criminal Court minutes (1815-1954). Chancery Court records include minutes (1825-1973) and case files (1825-c. 1950).

MICROFILM COLLECTION

The T. Elmer Cox Library has modern facilities for use of its sizable microfilm collection. Many of its most important materials - including newspapers, death certificates, land grants and court records -

are accessed primarily through microfilm. Because the library is a specialized research facility with many unique or rare resources, none of its materials circulate to the public. However, photocopy services are available in-house, and the library honors requests for photocopies from researchers outside Greene County. Interlibrary loan services also are available.

WIDESPREAD USE

Visitors from all 50 states have been to the library. The library has also received correspondence from people in 48 states and three foreign countries.

The library has implemented a free, remotely accessible cloud-based workflow system which allows the public to access the collections online.

As is the case with the GreenevilleGreene County Public Library, operational costs of the Cox Library are shared jointly by the Greene County and Greeneville governments. The Cox Library also has been the recipient of several grants from the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Funds from these grants have made it

possible for staff and volunteers to clean, repair, inventory and properly store many thousands of loose County Court records, including marriage licenses and bonds from 1780 through 1995. Ultimately, these records will be digitized, along with a large body of other court records that are currently being processed for permanent storage.

GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Strong support from the state library has been accompanied by local support from the Greene County Genealogical Society. Formed in 1985 by six Greene County natives, GCGS has grown to include hundreds of members from throughout the nation. The society has made many important purchases for the Cox Library and a wealth of its members' research and other historical information is available on their website, greenecountytngenealogicalsociety.org.

Greene County Genealogical Society membership dues are $20 annually. They include a subscription to “The Greene County Pioneer,” a semi-annual publication issued in May and November.

WEBELIEVE:

THOMAS J. GARLAND LIBRARY

Tusculum University’s library, named for Thomas J. Garland, a businessman and former legislator and education leader from Greeneville, covers more than 34,000 square feet. Its 2008 renovation and expansion nearly tripled the space of the original facility, constructed in 1910.

The library’s expansion allows the college to provide increased onsite reference, circulation and periodical space as well as to house additional computer terminals and resources, full-size classrooms, faculty offices, a conference room, study rooms, and a classroom dedicated to library instruction and information literacy.

The print collection now exceeds 185,000 print and microfilm texts and more than 200 periodical subscriptions.

Students also have access to 300,000 full text e-books and more than 20,000 journal titles available via the library’s website at www.garland.tusculum.edu.

Access to online databases and other resources is available on the Greeneville campus. Residents of Greene

County are welcome to use Tusculum’s library. Hours vary by semester and are subject to change without notice. The university suggests calling 423-6367320 to confirm hours or look for updates at www.garland. tusculum.edu.

117 House: Changing

Lives

One

Child At A Time

Isaiah 117 house is a home that provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement.

THEIR PURPOSE

When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their welfare, they are usually brought to the Department of Children’s Services offices to await placement with a foster family. This wait can be several hours to nearly a full day. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry and in dirty clothing. Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait - a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while DCS staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good foster placement.

Our18-holechampionshipcourse, designed by Robert TrentJones,was establishedin1954.PGAProfessional instructionbyBob Ward.

“We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.”

Holston Home for Children began in 1895 when a widow named Mrs. E.E. Wiley took a step of obedience and faith and answered the Lord’s call to start an orphanage for hurting children. At that time there were no employees, furniture, or supplies, but there was hope. Mrs. Wiley was determined to live each day depending on God and people to provide for the needs of children.

Today, Holston Home is committed to long-held Biblical convictions and its calling to care for the most vulnerable young people in Jesus’ name, like Harry, who has autism, and who said “I let Jesus into my heart on Sunday. If I wasn’t here, I might not have found Him.”

The mission of Holston Home is to provide hope and healing for a brighter future by sharing the love of Jesus with children and families struggling with life’s challenges.

Holston Home offers children and family services, including residential and foster care services. Holston Home is guided by principles that have been passed down throughout the history of its ministry. Some of the beliefs that strongly influence its mission include:

Every child should be taught about Jesus. All things are possible in Christ. Kids and families deserve our very best. Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their God-given potential.

RIVER ACADEMY

River Academy is the educational program of Holston Home and is designed for children who may be having trouble succeeding in school. Teachers assist students in recovering credits and earning diplomas. Graduations are held every May and December.

ADVENTURE BASED COUNSELING

Adventure Based Counseling develops emotional awareness, interpersonal skills, self-confidence, trauma recovery, empathy, team building, problem solving skills, assertiveness, anger control, overcoming fear, addiction, and other mental health challenges through professional facilitation of outdoor adventure experiences. After participating in activities such as horseback riding, kayaking, biking, camping, and gardening, there are times for youth to process what they experienced. Youth also care for horses, sheep, dogs, and cats which leads to regaining trust through caring relationships.

EARLY CHILDHOOD MINISTRIES

Early Childhood Ministries through the Children's Center and Small Miracles prepares children for school by teaching them how to have positive relationships with peers and teachers and by providing daily opportunities for art, music, science, math, and play. Extra care is provided through the foster grandparent program.

The Children's Center is located at 119 Fairgrounds Circle and Small Miracles is located at 2001 W. Main St.

INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM

The Independent Living program is for older youth and an opportunity to learn practices like money management. Youth pay rent, retain a savings account, keep their residences clean, cook, attend school regularly, and hold a job. At the end of their experience, the rent they paid is returned to them to be used as “seed” money to help them pay their own way as newly on-their-own adults.

Recently, Holston Home expanded to serve young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Hope & Thrive Academy (HTA) as well as women struggling with addiction through a residential program called Recovering Hearts.

HOPE & THRIVE ACADEMY

Hope & Thrive Academy fills a desperate void with the community that maximizes independence, social maturity, and spiritual growth for students with disabilities. HTA invites adults back to a productive life of gainful employment, social engagement, and physical fitness.

RECOVERING HEARTS

Recovering Hearts is a highly structured 9-to-13-month program that helps women struggling with addiction and reunites healthy mothers with their children. The program serves up to 18 ladies and provides safe and healthy housing, drug prevention/intervention classes, life skills classes and work opportunities. It uses the 12-steps and incorporates a biblical perspective.

THE ROCK

The Rock is Holston Home’s Christian Life Center where youth and families worship together. Worship services are also open to the community. Our faith and the beauty of the gospel is woven into all that we do. We would love for you and your family to join us on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. Additional information is available at www.holstonhome.org or by calling 423638-4171.

COMMUNITY LIFE IN GREENE COUNTY

County, Municipalities Oversee Animal Control

The James “Jim” Eagle Animal Control Facility collects and temporarily holds stray dogs and cats.

Its mission is the humane apprehension, housing and euthanasia of unwanted stray animals.

The animal control facility will keep an animal for a minimum of three days before it is euthanized. If space is available, the facility may extend that time.

A major goal of the county government’s animal control facility is to curtail the transmission of rabies and infectious diseases in the animal population in Greene County by limiting access to stray cats and dogs, which usually are unvaccinated and are potential carriers of disease.

The county’s animal control officers also serve as rabies control officers in conjunction with the Greene County Health Department.

The animal control facility is located at 990 Hal Henard Road in Greeneville and is operated by the

Holston Valley Mental Health Center, Mountain Region Speech and Hearing, YMCA Member and Camp Scholarships, CHIPS Family Violence Shelter, Personal Support Services, Foster Grandparent Program and Tennessee Rehabilitation Center at Greeneville. United Way volunteers and United Way-funded programs are able to accomplish many service goals throughout the year with the contributions raised during the annual campaign. Affordable child care, job training, youth development, literacy courses and the Food Bank are but a sample of some of the programs and activities that occur via the United Way of Greene County.

Some specific programs United Way funds through grants include: First Responder Rehabilitation Services through Debusk Volunteer Fire

Department; Stan Ritter Fund for emergency needs through Greene County Schools Family Resource Center; weekly hot meals through Tabernacle Mission Soup Kitchen; and Magic School Bus through Greene LEAF.

VALUE OF UNITED WAY

A number of criteria must be met before an organization is considered to receive United Way funding, including non-profit organization status, financial audits and more.

This process allows United Way to be a “watchdog” over other agency programs and fiscal issues, adding another layer of accountability for patrons.

Because the review process is so stringent, being a United Way member agency makes it easier for the agencies to apply for and receive grants that may be available from other sources.

The United Way of Greene

County also works to assess emerging needs and programs to ensure residents have access to needed services and resources. In 2022, United Way of Greene County funded the Greene County Anti-Drug Coalition and its activities through two state grants. These grants allowed United Way to support hiring professional staff for the GCADC. Also, United Way provided the funding for GreeneSpeaks to provide adult English classes at Greeneville High School. The 9-week course met weekly to teach nearly 80 students at five different levels.

The United Way office is located at 115 Academy St., Greeneville, TN 37743. Wendy Peay is the executive director. For more information, call 639-9361 or visit www.unitedwayofgreenecounty. org and www.unitedway.org.

Contact: 1-877-444-6777

Website: www.fs.usda.gov/cherokee; www.recreation.gov for reservations

The Cherokee National Forest, stretching across southeastern Greene County to the North Carolina state line, provides many nature-oriented recreational opportunities.

The forest covers roughly 656,000 acres in 10 East Tennessee counties — over 42,000 acres of the forest are in Greene County.

The U.S. Forest Service’s Unaka Ranger District is located in the northern portion of the Cherokee National Forest. In this

district, wildlife habitat, abundant plantlife, wilderness and the opportunity to appreciate natural beauty are conserved and protected.

There are a number of recreation areas only a short drive away. In some cases, covered pavilions are available for large gatherings. Pavilion reservations can be made online (www.recreation.gov) or by phone (1-877-444-6777).

Visitors can find white-water boating and boat-launching sites at some nearby rivers and streams. Visitors can make reservations for Rock Creek Campground in Unicoi County online or by phone.

Reservations are not available for any other U.S. Forest Service campground in the Unaka Ranger District. All other campsites are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Most campgrounds will accommodate tents, trailers and RVs but do not include shower facilities, dump stations or electrical hookups. Unless otherwise noted, all areas have restrooms, and in some areas, drinking water is also available. The camping seasons vary, but generally range from mid-May to November. Trails are open year-round, unless marked otherwise; some trails are designed only for hiking,

while others are designed for more than one type of use such as hiking, horses or bicycling.

For adventure-seekers, dispersed camping is allowed outside of developed recreation areas in the general forest area. There is a 14-day stay limit in all areas. The following is a list of U.S. Forest Service developed recreation areas in the Unaka Ranger District. Opening and closing dates depend on weather and other factors. Dates listed are estimated.

AGRICULTURE IN GREENE COUNTY

Greene County Fair Highlights Local Agriculture And Family Entertainment

TheGreene County Fair is typically held for six days and nights, Monday through Saturday in late July or early August each year. The event brings entertainment, carnival rides, games, food, exhibits, commercial vendors and more to the community. The Fair’s mission is focused on the promotion of agriculture in Greene County while providing an educational, entertaining, and family-friendly environment.

In 2023, the fair will celebrate its 73rd year. In 2022, attendance was approximately 30,000 people. It is the largest single social event for Greene County each year.

Located off Fairgrounds Road, the Greene County Fair’s foundation is the Farmers and Mechanics Association Fair that began in 1870. The main goal of that organization was to showcase the county’s agricultural endeavors. In 1949, the present Greene County Fair Association was founded by a group of people who had returned from World War II and were seeking to get more involved in community activities.

Currently, Rick Clark serves as the president of the fair’s board of directors.

The county fair emphasizes agriculture and features livestock shows for dairy, beef, sheep, goats, and poultry throughout the week. The Heritage Building showcases the talents of local area craftsmen and artisans who demonstrate their pioneer-era skills including knitting, weaving, wood carving, wool spinning, quilting, pottery,

basket weaving and canning. In addition to promoting agriculture in the community, the fair also provides various kinds of entertainment including name entertainers. In years past, artists such as Kenny Chesney, Tracy Lawrence, Ken Mellons, Marty Stuart and Josh Turner have performed for fairgoers.

Other popular annual acts include gospel and bluegrass groups as well as local talents and competitions.

For motor sports enthusiasts, demolition derbies and truck and tractor pulls are held in the Jim Saulsbury Motorsports Arena each year. Fairgoers also enjoy beauty pageants, baby

shows, wrestling, and a kids’ zone featuring inflatables and other games.

The Expo Building is where Greene Countians display their talents and compete for premiums in categories like sewing, needlework, canning, photography, fine arts, crafts and baked goods. Local growers enter exhibits in areas such as field crops, vegetables and flowers. 4-H and Future Farmers of America exhibits are also integral to the fair as students show off their skills to the public. Local beekeepers have honey exhibits on display, and wood carving and basket weaving demonstrations occur nightly in the building.

Numerous commercial vendors set up at the fair each year to display their businesses to the community and a variety of food is available at commercial and churchoperated concession stands during the week. The fair offers a time for family fun, fellowship, education and entertainment for all ages to enjoy.

Ag Research Center Serves As Official Weather Observance Site

The University of Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center at Greeneville has been one of the state’s leading agricultural research facilities since its establishment in 1932. The facility has led in the research and development of disease-resistant burley tobacco varieties and improved production practices. Other research at the center has contributed to

field-crop variety testing, beef cattle production and vegetable/specialty crops production.

In recent years, the center’s focus has shifted primarily to beef production. It also conducts research in forage variety.

The center is located about 5 miles south of Greeneville at 2255 E. Allens Bridge Road, between the Asheville

Highway and the Old Asheville Highway.

COUNTY’S WEATHER SITE

The AgResearch and Education Center has been an official weather observation site for the National Weather Service since 1932.

Daily recordings of temperature and precipitation serve as the official

weather observations for the National Weather Service in Greene County.

Daily weather observations include high and low temperature, 24-hour wind movement, evaporation, amount of precipitation and the tracking of air and soil conditions. Daily precipitation is recorded from 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. the next morning.

The center is one of 10 research

and education centers across the state that are part of the University of Tennessee AgResearch system.

The center is a working production laboratory for scientists and students and also provides educational tours and meetings for the public.

SHIFT FROM TOBACCO DEVELOPMENT

The development of burley tobacco varieties at the Greene County center historically increased family farm incomes in the United States through resistance to tobacco plant diseases and improved tobacco yield.

For example, Burley 21, developed at the

center and released to growers in 1960, was the first to have resistance to wildfire, while TN 86, released in 1986, was the first commercially available variety with resistance to tobacco vein mottling and tobacco etch viruses.

About 80 percent of all commercial varieties in the world have breeding material in their parentage that was developed in Greene County.

Varieties released through the breeding program such as TN90, KT200, KT204 and KT206 account for approximately 70 percent of the burley produced in the United States.

Current work in tobacco genetics is focused on developing resistance to black shank and blue mold.

Contributions also have been made in fertility, chemical and non-chemical plant pest control, conservation tillage, growth regulators and topping practices. The center’s research has also led to improvements in

other agricultural enterprises such as beef cattle production, hay, silage and pastures. More recent studies in beef cattle have focused on developing synchronization protocols for breeding replacement heifers.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Both the Greeneville and the Greene County school systems operate children’s programs that go

beyond the school day. Their Extended School Programs provide students a place to stay before and after school. Some programs include summer hours and also operate on days when school is not in session.

GREENEVILLE SCHOOLS

The Greeneville School System offers an Extended School Program (ESP) as an optional, after-school, Tennessee state licensed child care service offered for a daily fee to parents of Greeneville City School students enrolled at EastView, Hal Henard and Tusculum View elementary schools. ESP provides safe, quality childcare until 6 p.m. each day, Monday through Friday, and a fullday program during the summer and some holidays when school is not in session.

Children can engage in activities which benefit them emotionally, socially, physically, and educationally. Activities for the program are planned and supervised by trained staff and may include crafts, sports and games, art and music, computer games, career awareness activities, snacks, field trips and many other activities. In addition, time will be allotted each day for homework and tutorial assistance. The Extended School Program is designed with families in mind to supplement and support the child's experiences at home and school.

For more information contact program coordinator, Carrie Lamb, at 823-0006 or visit Greeneville City Schools online at www.gcschools.net.
