Over In Rogersville, Hale Springs Inn Serves Supper Where Andrew Jackson Once Slept
Some hotels hand over a key card and a map to the ice machine. Others hand over two hundred years of stories. On the main street of Rogersville, Tennessee, a redbrick building has been welcoming overnight guests since 1824, back when travelers arrived by horse and carriage instead of by car. A seventh president is said to be among its famous early guests, and today the same address serves supper in a dining room with a fireplace.

Surgoinsville Museum presenting historical drama
SURGOINSVILLE — Hawkins County did not yet exist during the Revolutionary War, but a number of people who lived in what became the county in 1787 played a role in one of the most important battles of the war that made the United States a reality. The Surgoinsville Area Archives and Museum, 120 Old Stage Rd., announced last week that it was joining up with the Town of Surgoinsville and had received a grant from the Tennessee State Museum Association as part of its America 250 initiative. With their support, the Museum announced the the upcoming production of “Voices from the Frontier,” a historical drama telling the story of the Overmountain Men of Hawkins County and their contributions to the Patriots’ victory at the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780. The battle took place on the heels of several defeats for the Patriot cause in the South. British Major Patrick Ferguson led a force of about 1,100 British Loyalists against the settlers on the other side of the mountains, hence their name “Overmountain Men.” After Ferguson threatened the settlers that he would “lay waste to their country with fire and sword” unless they stopped supporting the Patriot cause,

WSCC to host screening of “Nursing: Empathy Heals”
Walters State Community College will host two screenings of “NURSE: Empathy Heals” on Thursday, Oct. 22, giving students, faculty and community members an opportunity to see a documentary built around nurses telling their own stories. Screenings are scheduled for 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Created by filmmaker Chusy of Plan A Films, the documentary explores empathy and the emotional realities of nursing through first-person stories. Nurses reflect on experiences of grief, joy, compassion, uncertainty and resilience — offering a look at the human side of a profession centered on caring for others. The film grew from the Nurse Narratives Initiative, an East Tennessee State University-based collaboration involving StoryCollab, the College of Nursing, the Tennessee Center for Nursing Advancement and the ETSU Research Corporation, with support from Ballad Health. The initiative uses nurses’ stories to encourage reflection and conversation about empathy, resilience and patient care. The documentary also has a Walters State connection, featuring a Walters State nursing graduate and a current faculty member. Dr. Sheila Williams, dean of Health Programs at Walters State, said that connection makes bringing the film to campus especially meaningful. “Nursing requires tremendous knowledge and clinical skill, but there is also a deeply human side of

Greeneville Historic Zoning Commission approves renovation, other items
The Greeneville Historic Zoning Commission unanimously approved three applications during its Tuesday meeting. The items comprised renovation and signage for a new business, the restoration of a historic home, and the posting of a temporary sign for a local nonprofit. Scott Grant presented a plan to renovate the old gas station at the corner of South McKee and Main streets, across from the Greeneville Greene County History Museum, as a boutique car dealership. While leaving the structure of the original building unchanged, the proposed renovation will repaint the exterior, in accordance with Greeneville’s historical color charts, to evoke a vintage service station. It will also add signage for Grant’s new business, “Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers,” to the building and either decorative, nonfunctioning gas pumps or antique lollipop signs under the property’s canopy. Jaime Parman-Ryans, a member of the Commission, temporarily recused herself to present her proposal to restore her historic home at 312 N. Main Street. All proposed measures will directly repair damage to or decay of the property. None of its original features will be removed.
