Whether you have lived here all your life or are visiting for the first time, it does not take long to realize that East Tennessee is a special place. It is a land of verdant mountains and valleys, a land where the progress of the Tennessee Valley Authority, atomic energy facilities, and a state university blend with generations-old traditions to create a cherished way of life. The East Tennessee Historical Society’s Museum of East Tennessee History opened in 1993. The popularity of the museum, a growing artifact collection, and increased research audiences spurred an expansion of the East Tennessee History Center and generated a campaign for a new, first-class Museum of East Tennessee, which opened in 2008.

The World’s Fair Park was initially created for the 1982 World’s Fair Exhibition with the theme “Energy Turns the World”. The abandoned 70-acre Louisville and Nashville Railroad Yard (L&N) between Downtown Knoxville and UTK's campus was completely renovated. The existing rail station and foundry were also renovated to hold restaurant spaces, offices for fair officials, and VIP rooms. The Sunsphere, which was the icon for the fair, was constructed in 1981 and stands 266ft high and 26 stories tall. The gold globe itself is 5 stories tall and each pane of glass is made of 24-karat gold. During the fair for $2, you could ride the elevator up to the 4th floor to the observation deck that offers an incredible 360 view of Knoxville.
