The Mabry-Hazen House, built in 1858, will host their Civil War Living History. Mabry’s Hill served as headquarters for both armies during the Civil War, and will once again be occupied by Union and Confederate troops. Visitors will enjoy open camps, military demonstrations, cannon firing, and programming on a variety of subjects including arms and ammunition, medicinal practice, field music, and the role of women during the war. Also included will be guided tours of the historic home, which features the original family collection.

The Mabry-Hazen House Museum, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located on six acres atop Mabry's Hill. Housing three generations of the same family from 1858 to 1987, the house is a premier example of Knoxville’s colorful past. Bethel Cemetery, established in 1861, contains a 48 foot tall Confederate monument erected in 1892 and an original caretaker’s cottage built in 1886. Both sites give focused perspectives of Knoxville’s divided past and will continue to offer special programming during the Civil War Sesquicentennial.

Singin’ & Pickin’ - With a style best described as a mixture of folk and bluegrass, Jay Clark’s handcrafted lyrics run the gamut of hard living, hard drinking, civil disobedience, and old-time religion. As the son of a Cumberland Presbyterian minister from Winchester, Tennessee, Jay’s devout religious upbringing is apparent in his songwriting. During the 1990s Jay helped form the Stringbeans, a hot Knoxville bluegrass band.
