This weeks’ photos are by K.W. Leonard from the East Tennessee History Fair, hosted Aug. 15 by East Tennessee Historical Society in partnership with the Knox County Public Library. The free, curated celebration centered around our nation’s Semiquincentennial (250th) with a focus on four pillars: Celebrate, Commemorate, Contemplate and Commit.
