Workshop: Exploring Tennessee Maps

Participants will enjoy exploring various Tennessee maps­, not only where they can be found­–books, in print, and online–but what information they can offer for genealogical and historical research. Emphasis will be placed on maps housed in the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection, as well as other Tennessee repositories.
