There is also a large dinning room for receptions or meetings. Each room has a TV and bathroom. The Inn overlooks the Tennessee River, which has another wonderful attraction. The city spent a couple of million dollars on Volunteer Landing. The walkway runs along the river anchored on one end by a new Visitor's Center and restaurant and the other end by a train station and restaurant.
Visitors can stroll along the walkway or stop and rest on one of the many benches along the route.
Historical markers provide a picture and story of various events the took place along the river or the town since it was founded. They offer train rides and a river cruise. The city of Knoxville is trying to revive its downtown area, as most large cities are doing. As always, I will be catching up on mail and stuff today after being out of town. The meeting went well and everyone who attended seemed to enjoy themselves and learn some things in the process.
