The History Parlor

Step into The History Parlor for a conversation about history with East Tennessee History Center team members! The format is simple: read any material that touches on history (fiction or nonfiction, global or local, new or old) and come prepared to share a short synopsis with the group. If you have ever longed for a history class do-over or simply love to read about history, this is your chance to share your favorite reads and interesting discoveries with history-minded individuals! The History Parlor is free and open to the public. It convenes at 10:00 a.m. on the second Thursday of each month in the Bilo Nelson Auditorium of the East Tennessee History Center, 601 South Gay Street, in downtown Knoxville. The History Parlor is organized by Knox County Public Library in partnership with the East Tennessee Historical Society.
