Pellissippi State Community College

Pellissippi State Community College (Pellissippi State or PSTCC) is a public community college based in Knox and Blount Counties in Tennessee. It is operated by the Tennessee Board of Regents. The college's main campus is located in west Knox County. There are four satellite campuses in the surrounding area. Pellissippi State was named Pellissippi State Technical Community College until July 1, 2009. It is the successor to the former State Technical Institute at Knoxville ("STIK"), founded in 1974. Campus Pellissippi State Community College operates four campuses, as of Fall 2024, spread across the Knox County and Blount County area, including: Main Campus in Hardin Valley Magnolia Avenue Campus in East Knoxville Blount County Campus in Maryville Strawberry Plains Campus in Strawberry Plains History The precursor to Pellissippi State, State Technical Institute at Knoxville, was established on September 4, 1974. The original school was added on as a wing to the Knoxville State Regional Vocational-Technical School and intended to simply provide post-secondary vocational training to area residents. However, at the backing of the newly seated director Colonel John C. Mauer, the Tennessee State Board of Vocational Education soon took over governance of the school, providing three associate degree programs in engineering technology to 45 students on the first day of classes, September 23, 1974. STIK received its initial accreditation from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) in 1977, under the leadership of the first school president, Wayne Jones, and six years later, on July 1, 1983, STIK became a member of the State University and Community College System of Tennessee, thereby transferring governance of the school to the Tennessee Board of Regents. In 1986 the campus was moved to its current location, on a 445-acre (1.80 km2) plot in west Knox County near Pellissippi Parkway. Initially, STIK shared the campus with Roane State Community College. In 1988, however, the school's mission was broadened to include that of a technical community college, adding numerous university-parallel associate degree programs, changing its name to Pellissippi State Technical Community College, and absorbing the space occupied by Roane State. A hot air balloon festival was held at the campus from 2004 to 2011. Origin of name Pellissippi (also spelled "Pelisipi") appears on early maps as the name of the Clinch River. Students and faculty Pellissippi State employs about 185 full-time faculty, 265 adjunct faculty, 231 staff members, while serving over 10,000 students, between 100 and 150 of whom are classified as international. Notable alumni Notable people who attended the college include: Keith L. Brown (musician) – American jazz pianist, educator, and composer Steve Hall – member of the Tennessee House of Representatives Demetrice Morley – American football defensive back Jason Zachary – member of the Tennessee State House of Representatives References External links Official website
Percy Priest Lake

J. Percy Priest Lake is a reservoir in north central Tennessee. It is formed by J. Percy Priest Dam, located between miles six and seven of the Stones River. The dam (easily visible from Interstate 40) is located about 10 miles (16 km) east of downtown Nashville and impounds a lake 42 mi (68 km) long. The lake and dam are named for Congressman Percy Priest. The lake covers portions of Davidson, Rutherford and Wilson counties and consists of 14,200 acres (5,700 ha) of water at summer pool elevation 490 feet (150 m) above mean sea level. The water is surrounded by 18,854 acres (7,630 ha) of public lands; 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) are devoted to wildlife management. The site of the former town of Old Jefferson was inundated by the reservoir; the community was demolished in the early 1960s for the building of the dam. The Percy Priest dam project was first authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1946 under the name "Stewarts Ferry Reservoir." An act of Congress approved July 2, 1958, changed the name to honor Congressman Priest. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project was completed in 1967. The dam, powerhouse, lake and public lands are operated and supervised by the Corps of Engineers' Nashville District personnel. The Natural Resource Management Office maintains three campgrounds (Anderson Road, Seven Points and Poole Knobs), eleven day-use/picnic areas (Anderson Road, Cook, Damsite, East Fork, Fate Sanders, Jefferson Springs, Nice's Mill, Overlook, Seven Points, Smith Springs and Tailwater) and twelve boat launching ramps (Anderson Road, Cook, East Fork, Fall Creek, Fate Sanders, Hurricane Creek, Jefferson Springs, Lamar Hill, Mona, Nice's Mill, Poole Knobs, Seven Points, Smith Springs, Stewart's Creek and Viverett Creek). Marinas at the lake include Nashville Shores, Elm Hill, Four Corners, Fate Sanders, Hamilton Creek and Percy Priest. The lake is also home to a number of recreational organizations such as the Tennessee Boat Club, Percy Priest Yacht Club, Vanderbilt Sailing Club, the Vanderbilt Rowing Club and the Nashville Rowing Club. The lake is mentioned in the song "Cover Me Up" by musician Jason Isbell. It was also the filming location for the 2013 Grammy Award-winning song "Pontoon", recorded by American country band Little Big Town. On May 29, 2021, a Cessna Citation I/SP private jet crashed into the lake, killing all seven on board, including actor Joe Lara and Christian author and dietician Gwen Shamblin Lara.

The Pink Palace Museum & Mansion is a local and natural history museum in Memphis, Tennessee. The museum features exhibits ranging from archeology to chemistry as well as a large theater and a planetarium. Over 240,000 people visit the Pink Palace each year. The museum is part of the Memphis Museums of Science and History, a collection of historic, educational, and technological attractions maintained by the City of Memphis and Memphis Museums, Inc. History The Pink Palace was initially constructed in 1923 as the residence of Clarence Saunders, the founder of Piggly Wiggly. It was built out of pink Georgian marble. However, Saunders sold the incomplete home to the City of Memphis in 1928 after becoming bankrupt due to financial reversals on Wall Street. In March 1930, after the Stock Market Crash, the Memphis Museum of Natural History and Industrial Arts opened in the mansion. The original exhibits featured stuffed animals and birds, dolls, anthropological items from local wealthy collectors, as well as items related to Memphis' history, particularly Confederate military uniforms and memorabilia. On February 26, 1977, the new $5-million annex opened with a preview banquet. In 2021, the museum was rebranded as Museum of Science and History - Pink Palace to emphasize the shared management with the other museums in the system. However, the name was reverted in 2024. Exhibits The museum contains a variety of exhibits relating to Memphis history. One exhibit features a replica of the original Piggly Wiggly store, the first self-service grocery store, commemorating the invention of the supermarket by Memphian Clarence Saunders in 1916. Other permanent exhibits include 15th century Native American pottery, pre-Columbian artifacts, Clyde Parke's Miniature Circus, fossils and dinosaurs, and mounted animals. History exhibits focus on the roles of music and cotton on Memphis, the Civil War, the changing roles of women, and historic Black Memphians. The museum features several special exhibits each year. Planetarium and theater The Sharpe Planetarium, housed at the museum, features an 145-seat theater-in-the-round auditorium and offers public shows that project star fields, visual images, and laser lights on a domed ceiling. The Spotlight Giant Theater opened on January 21, 1995, and features a four-story high movable screen. Murals The original main entrance lobby of the Museum Mansion features a three-panel mural by Memphis artist Burton Callicott. The murals commemorate the discovery of the Mississippi River near the site of Memphis by the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto and his men, and their encounters with Native Americans. The three murals were commissioned in 1934 by the Public Works of Art Project of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's government, as part of a series of numerous art and public works projects to employ artists and others during the Great Depression. Callicott, who died in 2004, taught at the Memphis College of Art. See also List of museums in Tennessee References External links Pink Palace Family of Museums
