"Back to School" used to look a little differently at St. Mary's School for Girls in Knoxville. We were recently sent these photos from the Clermont Historical Society in Florida! They ended up states away, but we're sure glad they made it back home - especially the fabulous interior photos! These are all circa 1890's and available to be seen in person at the Knox County Historical Museum - Open every Sunday now through October from 2 to 4pm (or by appointment, if you have a group you'd like to bring in please reach out and set up a time to take a tour with one of our volunteers!)

Too hot to do much today...but it's perfectly cool inside the Knox County Historical Museum!

Stop by from 2 to 4pm on the Square in Knoxville today (and every Sunday through the Scenic Drive in October). Browse our impressive selection of Knox County relics and memorabilia, including the carriage Lincoln rode from Knoxville to Galesburg in to debate Stephen Douglas at Knox College in October of 1858.

It's just one of the many interesting things waiting to be discovered!

Free will donation - so bring the family and learn something new about the place you call home!😍
