DigiTravel Log: Museum of Appalachia

I attended the Independence Day festivities this year at the Museum of Appalachia, in Norris, TN.  There were a number of Revolutionary War re-enactors, from the local chapter of the Sons of the American Revolutionary.  In addition to the anvil shoot, the Sons also read aloud the Declaration of Independence and had a special bell-ringing where children rang a bell as the names of each of the original thirteen colonies was said aloud, along with its respective motto.  Of course, three more states were added . . . simply to bring the list up to the 16th state to join the Union, Tennessee.
