Tennessee River Heritage of the Shoals
by Dr. Carrie Barske Crawford
12-1 p.m.
Wednesday, July 13
Fiction Colonnade
Free
This program, presented by Dr. Carrie Barske Crawford, director of the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area, will explore the history of the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama and how it impacted the lives of the earliest people who lived in the area through to how it shapes our lives today.
Using images drawn from collections across the state of Alabama, the presentation will examine a range of subjects, including the Civil War, the construction of Wilson Dam and the nitrate facilities, the coming of TVA to the region, and the work of IFDC.
This presentation is a complement to our backpack program featuring the Tennessee River. It is provided by the Florence library through a partnership with the Alabama Public Library Services and The Institute of Museum and Library Services. It was made possible through a grant from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
