Knoxville History Project Annual Luncheon

The Knoxville History Project (KHP) will hold its annual luncheon and fundraiser. The luncheon is KHP's annual "Ask Event" in celebration of Knoxville history and honors a local historian who has made significant contributions to the knowledge of the city's history. The 2024 honoree will be W.R. “Sandy” McNabb, who as a preservationist in the mid-1970s co-founded Knox Heritage to save the Bijou Theatre. His large-form hardback Tradition, Innovation & Romantic Images: Architecture of Historic Knoxville (UT, 1991) remains the best-known book on the city‘s architectural history.

There is no fee to attend but everyone is encouraged to make a donation in support of ongoing work of KHP before or during the event. Pre-registration via a table host or with KHP directly is essential. For information, contact Paul James, director of publishing and development at [email protected] or call 865-337-7723.
