Editor:

Thank you, County Mayor Larry Waters and Sevier County Commission members, for the decision you made a few months ago to preserve a piece of Sevier County history by setting aside funds to repair the old Sevierville Post Office building.

Because of that decision, a building which was falling into disrepair is now an asset and wonderful showcase of the county’s history, thanks to many repairs. Your decision in 1994 to allow the building to house a museum of local history has been positive for the community. From Boy Scouts to school groups to senior citizens, the museum is a place where people enjoy learning about the place they live.

Thank you for setting aside a place for a museum and your support through the years.

Everyone, please come by Thursday at 4 p.m. to celebrate the Sevier County Heritage Museum’s grand reopening and visit the exhibits. We are located at the corner of Bruce Street and the Parkway. It is an honor to work and welcome visitors to the museum.

Everyone is invited to the open house.

Patsy Bradford

Museum Director
