Historic Sewanee Downtown Exhibit
On Thursday, Feb. 16, there will be an exhibit opening and reception for “Historic Sewanee Downtown, 150 Years” in the William R. Laurie University Archives and Special Collections building in Sewanee. The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with Meg Beasley, John Runkle, and Chris Van de Ven speaking in the Lytle Room. In addition to an overview of the development of Sewanee’s downtown, histories of some noted businesses are part of the exhibit, and the introduction of a walking tour for the downtown business district will be highlighted.
The exhibit will run from through Dec. 15 in the Museum Gallery of the Archives building. Viewing hours are 1–5 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by appointment. Support from the University of the South and the Sewanee Trust for Historic Preservation made the research for and presentation of this exhibit possible.
