Tennessee is an extraordinary place, and the residents, natives and ancestors of Crossville have long treasured their unique heritage. The community's history and stories passed from one generation to the next; documented with photos that have been stored in dust covered boxes or cluttered attics can now be passed to future generations. When we are young we think we will never forget. As we grow older, we marvel at how much of life we have witnessed and how many names, faces and details we just cannot recall. How many times have we said "I wish I had written that down when Grandma was still alive"...the Crossville pictorial history book is an outgrowth of that wish...a desire to savor recollections from the past and preserve fragments of history for our succeeding generations
