Kids are invited to bring along an adult family member to participate in the East Tennessee Historical Society's summer genealogy camp. The camp will be held July 9-12 at the ETHS headquarters in the East Tennessee History Center in downtown Knoxville. The camp is designed for children age 9 to 13. At the camp, kids will enjoy learning methods to research their family tree, such as talking to relatives, using original records, visiting cemeteries and libraries, and meeting historical reenactors. This camp will plant the seeds of interest in history in today's children.
Space is limited in the camp and pre-registration is required.
