Letterpress lives on with Hatch Show Print

Hatch Show Print offers visitors a look not only at an historical part of country music history but a chance to visit the most famous letterpress operation in the nation. A great piece in the Tennessean looks into the business of running 19th Century technology in a time of computer-generated type and PDFs.

The Lion, the Ditch, and the Civil War Battlefield

The Aslan Foundation of Knoxville has come to the rescue of Fort Higley, one of the lesser-known Civil War forts in East Tennessee. As described in a story in the News Sentinel, the foundation bought almost 100 acres encompassing the remains of the fort, which lies downstream from the better known Fort Dickerson.
