The Episcopal School of Knoxville and Old Gray Cemetery have set Sunday, April 20, 2008, as the date for the annual Hunt for History, an interactive celebration of the city's memorable forbears. The Hunt is an event of the Dogwood Festival.
The event will be 2-4 p.m. at the Old Gray Cemetery, 543 North Broadway. Admission is free. Parking is available. For more information, call (865) 522-1424.
In the event, eighth graders from The Episcopal School will wear period costumes and tell the stories of historic characters buried in the cemetery. The students' presentation comes after much research on their chosen character. Old Gray Cemetery is the final resting place of historical figures including Governor William Brownlow, Mary Boyce Temple and the Rev. Thomas Williams Humes as well as that of numerous statesmen, 27 past mayors, veterans of the Union and Confederate armies.
