Heritage Programs

The triumphs and tragedies of past generations become real and heartfelt when you learn about an ancestor's life as an indentured servant, or feel the sorrow of a mother as her sons depart for America, or the loyalty that drove a soldier to wander a dark battlefield, lantern in hand, stepping over the dead and dying, to find his missing brother.

East Tennessee Historical Society's popular family heritage programs, First Families of Tennessee and Civil War Families of Tennessee, help us record the story of Tennessee--one family at a time.
