For over a decade, Knox Heritage and the East Tennessee Preservation Alliance has brought the East Tennessee Preservation Conference to our region. It has become a cherished event for those who love history, historic sites, and learning about preservation methods.
Many regional communities have been highlighted by the conference. Townsend, Rugby, Jonesborough, Gatlinburg, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Knoxville, Morristown, and Clinton have hosted the event. Attendees include preservation professionals, architects, planners, tourism professionals, government and community leaders, economic developers, real estate professionals and others who have found that advanced knowledge of historic preservation principles and practices has value. It is a great event for learning, networking and experiencing historic sites distinctive to the host community.
The conference is made possible by the following sponsors: The City of Knoxville, Design Innovation Architects, The East Tennessee Foundation, Johnson Architecture, Inc., McCarty Holsaple McCarty Architects, Sparkman & Associates Architects, Inc, Brewer Ingram Fuller Architects, Inc. and Thomason & Associates.
