Lori's third reason for being in the Knoxville area next August

Genealogists enjoy museums and the Knoxville area is home to many. These are a few you might enjoy. I'm beginning to think that we will need to be in the area for extra days.

• Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame - http://www.wbhof.com/ .

• Knoxville Museum of Art - http://www.knoxart.org/. This is located in World’s Fair Park, adjacent to the convention center.

• Beck Cultural Exchange Center - http://www.discoveret.org/beckcec/

• Frank H. McClung Museum - http://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu/. Located on campus of University of Tennessee.

• American Museum of Science and Energy - http://www.amse.org/ In nearby Oak Ridge.

• Museum of Appalachia - http://www.museumofappalachia.org/ In nearby Norris. This is where the 2010 FGS banquet will be held on Thursday night. [Watch this blog for more details on this special event.]
