Kingsport: “Just keep pinning. Just keep pinning.”

I’ve expanded the Archives of the City of Kingsport’s HistoryPin channel to 41 pins! Hopefully, we have the town’s history and geography somewhat covered, now. Of course, we are always open to suggestions. And, one thing this project has made us aware of are the topics and locations for which we lack photos (Fort Henry Dam and Holston Ordinance Works, for example), so we are always looking for donations of great, historic photographs.

Here is a sample of two of the most recent pins.

The Jacob and Mary Wills double log and stone “keep” house is located along the North Fork Holston in Carter’s Valley at Cloud’s Ford. Built circa 1790. (Calhoun Collection KCMC 186)

We have such great images of the Tri-cities airport that it was difficult to pick just a few. Here is a Southeastern airplane and hangar, 1961. (Peirce Collection KCMC 258)

I hope you’ll enjoy visiting our channel on HistoryPin. We plan on pinning an event Tour, soon. Until then, when people around the world use History Pin to learn about East Tennessee’s history, now, then can “just keep clicking!”
