This summer, as Chattanooga and Hamilton County celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, a new chapter will open in how this community tells its story.
The Chattanooga-Hamilton County History Experience - located at the corner of Broad and 3rd Streets - will present original films on local history, interactive exhibits and student storytelling.
Thanks to a partnership with Dynamo Studios, public school students in Hamilton County will work with professional filmmakers on the films.
Three volunteer advisors are sharing their perspective as the project takes shape: John Edwards, owner of The Chattanooga News Chronicle; Linda Moss Mines, Chattanooga and Hamilton County Historian - and Tom Griscom, former White House Communications Director under President Ronald Reagan and former executive editor and publisher of The Chattanooga Times Free Press.
