2024: Exhibit Debut!
KING IRON: The Untold Story of Enslaved Furnace Workers in Tennessee
Good news! Members of TAAHG have received a grant from Tennesse Humanities to fund a traveling exhibit about Tennessee’s enslaved furnace workers.
The exhibit is scheduled to debut in Franklin, Tennessee in February of 2024 and is scheduled to be in Dickson County in the Spring and Montgomery County by the end of the summer. Details will follow soon! The President of TAAHG, Frederick Murphy, is a descendant of enslaved iron workers and has a personal connection to this history. He will be leading presentations along with other descendants at various exhibit venues.
