Three times a year, the CHP reviews applications from farm families across the state for the Tennessee Century Farms program. In June, we certified sixteen new farms. Follow the Tennessee Century Farms Facebook page to see our posts about the new farms we have certified this summer.

Newly updated, with a renewed focus on citizenship, the Trials, Triumphs, and Transformations digital collection emphasizes the impact of federal and state government programs as Tennessee moved into the modern era. The rise of industry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is also featured.

Our partners at Nashville Public Television have learned that the Nissan Foundation will distribute the most recent addition to The Citizenship Project documentary series, "Early Black Press: Tennessee's Voices Lifted," at a national conference. The Heritage Area is a major supporter of the project. You can view the program online.
