Welcome Tennessee teachers and students to the East Tennessee Historical Society's (ETHS) education website. We will no longer be updating this website, but the material will remain available for teachers and students. For more informatation about current education programs at ETHS please see the Education page of the ETHS website

 

ETHS was fortunate to partner with 11 school systems and the University of Tennessee's Department of History from 2003-2014 on three Teaching American History Grants funded through the U.S. Department of Education. A continuing partnership with Humanities Tennessee allowed ETHS to revise the website, now www.teachTNHistory.org,  The website continues to be maintained by the East Tennessee Historical Society to meet the needs of teachers and students throughout Tennessee.
