Wanda Sobieski, founder of the museum, recently gave a talk to the League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge on the history of the suffrage movement and plans for the museum at 706 and 708 S. Gay St . According to its flyer, the museum, which has more than 1,000 artifacts, will tell the story of “one of the longest, most arduous and ultimately most transformative movements in American history” that won the right to vote for 27 million American women in 1920. Sobieski is also the founder of the law firm Sobieski, Messer and Associates and the Suffrage Coalition Inc., which is dedicated to honoring men and women who have worked to win the right to vote for women in Tennessee.

Inside KUB’s 100-Year-Old Water Castle

There’s a rather magnificent brick fortress on Riverside Drive that looks like UT’s iconic Ayres Hall’s slightly more industrial cousin. With its Gothic windows and imposing towers, it has the general appearance of a place where someone might be imprisoned for treason or, at the very least, locked away to finish a dissertation. But in fact, it’s where your drinking water comes from.

Live in Studio B, Wednesday at 11am: Hayes Carll

We’re excited to welcome one of our favorite Americana artists back to Studio B. “Like John Prine, Carll has a clever, concise style of communicating serious concepts, frequently through dark humor, displaying world-weary truths underneath wry lyrics. Better still, he cloaks these anecdotes in melodies you’ll be singing after the first spin.” – American Songwriter. Last time he visited, he was joined by members of the Band of Heathens. This time Hayes brings his own 6-piece band to Studio B for a session with Roland just past 11am, before playing the Grey Eagle in Asheville that evening, and the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville on Thursday.

PHOTO GALLERY: Chiefs cage Cougars to clinch playoff berth

ROGERSVILLE — Jayden Weston broke free for a 44-yard touchdown run with 4:09 left to play and the Chiefs’ defense came up big to lift Cherokee past Northview Academy 35-28 on Friday night and into the Region 1-4A football playoffs for the third straight season. “Hats off to the seniors to finish up the season on a win in Big Red Valley in front of their family on a night we celebrated them,” said Cherokee coach Josh Hensley. “Getting to the playoffs is a privilege, and I’m super proud of these guys. I’m blessed to be their coach and blessed to call them mine. I can’t say enough about who they are and what they stand for.” With the win, the Chiefs (6-4) earned Region 1’s No. 4 seed and a return trip to Alcoa for the opening round of the TSSAA Class 4A football playoffs. The top-ranked Tornadoes (10-0) defeated the Chiefs 56-0 a year ago en route to their 11th straight state championship. “This game meant a lot for the region. We called it the Alcoa Bowl and made it about wanting to go run into that fire. Let’s go do it. I will put the jacket on

A Knoxville WWII hero saved over 200 Jewish prisoners - and never spoke of it

Master Sgt. Roderick "Roddie" Edmonds was a World War II hero whose actions helped save the lives of around 200 Jewish servicemembers in 1944. The Knoxville native never spoke about what he did afterward − and was never honored for his bravery during his lifetime. But when his incredible story came to light years later, Edmonds' legacy and life-altering courage were recognized around the world. Born in 1919, Edmonds grew up in Knoxville, attending Flenniken Elementary, Boyd Junior High and Knoxville High School, according to Knox County Archives' research . After graduating, he worked as a stock clerk before joining the U.S. Army March 17, 1941. He arrived in Belgium in December 1944. It was only the following month that Edmonds made the valiant decision that gave so many persecuted people the opportunity to live. Master Sgt. Edmonds' remarkable act of courage Edmonds was captured at the Battle of the Bulge and sent to the Stalag IXB in Bad Orb, Germany, one of the worst camps in Germany for British and American prisoners, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Holocaust Encyclopedia states. He was then transferred to Ziegenhain's Stalag IXA, another prisoner of war camp. Once there, on the evening

'All Aboard' as Oak Ridge museum hosts 25th gala

The Children’s Museum of Oak Ridge will host its 25th Annual Gala from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, in the museum's gym. "All Aboard the Silver Line: A 25th Anniversary Gala," is the theme, according to a museum news release. The event is expected to bring together supporters for an evening of entertainment, dining, and auctions benefiting the museum’s educational mission. This year’s train theme honors the museum’s long partnership with the Knoxville Area Model Railroaders , who first collaborated with the museum after receiving the donation of a large model train layout from Oak Ridge resident Milton Lloyd. The museum provided a permanent home for the layout, and the relationship grew into a signature exhibit and years of volunteer support. The museum’s first gala adopted a train theme to celebrate this new partnership, and proceeds supported the development of the new model railroad space. Returning to a train theme for the 25th Annual Gala recognizes the enduring connection between the museum and the railroaders and celebrates the World of Trains exhibit that continues to be a favorite among visitors. This year’s Gala will feature emcee Will Puckett, WVLT-TV anchor, and a presentation by Don Hunnicutt of the
