Greenback Historical Society has presented Volume I of the Greenback Heritage Scrapbook to Blount County Genealogical and Historical Society to be housed at the Blount County Public Library.
The scrapbook, which covers years prior to 1900, is one of four volumes currently being researched and printed by the Greenback Scrapbook Committee of the Greenback Community Club.
“The project was first begun in 2004 and has received strong community support,” said Paul Bailey, scrapbook editor.
Copies are now available in the Greenback Public Library, the Greenback Heritage Museum and the Loudon County Library.
