The Museum of Appalachia off I-75 near Knoxville is well worth visiting! The ingenuity of the people is amazing!

[@donnielaws7020]

Thank you, Donnie, for sharing your knowledge of past history. The scenery and the stories of the past should never be forgotten. Many thanks for preserving the memories and stories of the past through your videos. God 🙏 bless 🙏.

[@donnielaws7020]

Amen my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. Your very welcome.

[@CathyCorriher-jb1ot]

States and USA History can and should never be forgotten and true history should be taught in our schools. A history forgotten is usually repeated. Happy Memorial Day.....have a safe one

K-Town born and raised. I hope Knoxville doesn't fall victim to California and NY liberal infestation like Nashville has. Nashville was a beautiful city untill they came. It makes me sad that they. are trying to destroy our beloved Bible belt. Thank you Donnie.

[@donnielaws7020]

Thanks for sharing my friend. God bless you.

Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing.

My Grandfather used to play the old very unique song "Knoxville Girl" by I believe Johnny & Jack to me as a child. Also the "Banks of the Ohio" by The Blue Sky Boys since they are about the same type of songs. He was nearly 100 when he passed in 2019 still driving. He saw The Original Carter family Sarah, Maybelle, & AP sing & pick from the bed of a pickup truck in 1928 or 1929 at the Wilkes County, NC fair. One song they sang was "Picture on the Wall". Most people today have no idea who those singers or the songs even. Something tells me you know perfectly well who all these are and the songs too. Good to see a new video from you.

[@dorisadkins2464]

My mother used to sing Knoxville Girl to us.

[@sharonfreemanpace1011]

Morning Mr.Donnie. I just got through reading about The State of Franklin. It was so interesting! I am a history buff and can't believe this important part of history is left out of our history books!! So much of our past is neglected or changed just to fit the current political narrative. The fact remains it's already happened and you can't change that part of it. I never knew Knoxville was the first state capital of Tennessee.! I enjoy these history lessons so much. Until next time God Bless

[@donnielaws7020]

Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@mrwilliams6626]

Never too old to learn some. Donnie you tough me a lot about the history there. Thanks for everything you're blessed.❤

[@nancyholcombe8030]

Thanks for showing us the beginning of Knoxville, Tennessee Donnie! I love your history shows and am so happy that you feel back up to doing them again! I always learn so much from them. I also appreciate that you show the Cherokee side of things as well as the settler's side. My family is the product of a 'middle of nowhere' town where the Cherokee and the white settlers got along, so I tend to look at both sides. You have my gratitude for presenting these things as you do. Ben Franklin wrote that there are three sides to every story: the first person's side, the second person's side, and the actual truth! You go for that actual truth every time. I love it! Y'all take care now! May God bless you and yours. 😊
