News from the Museums Department: Summer Internships, Saturday Hours, A Fond Farewell

Five museum studies students will begin internships this summer. Furthest to the north, Toria Strickland will intern at the Slater Memorial Museum in Norwich, Connecticut. Down south, Alexis Joiner has begun an internship at the Florida Holocaust Museum in Saint Petersburg. Closer to campus, Samantha Eldridge is working at the McKinney Center in Jonesborough and Paul Johnston is at the Jonesborough Heritage Alliance. Last but not least, Maggie Brown will complete an internship at the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site in Greeneville. Good luck to all our interns!

SATURDAY SUMMER HOURS! We are Proud to announce that the Doak House will be open from 10 am to 2 pm the following Saturdays in June and July. Come by and see us for a tour!
June 6th, June 20th, July 11th, and July 25th

Leah Walker, a smiling fixture of the museums for more than ten years, left Tusculum at the beginning of May to become the new Director of the Rogersville Heritage Association. Our loss is most certainly Rogersville’s gain. If you are in the area, stop by and say hello and wish her the very best! We miss her already!
