Tennessee State Museum Director Speaks at Summer Board Meeting

Ashley Howell, executive director of the Tennessee State Museum was the luncheon speaker at the TSSDAC Summer Board Meeting. She provided an overview of the museum that opened in new space in 2018. In 1937, the Tennessee General Assembly created a state museum to consolidate World War I mementoes and other collections from the state, the Tennesse Historical Society, and other groups. Over the years, the museum has had several homes but never a home of its own until now.
