Knoxville Kitty and Henry Knox at Maple Hall

Our next Maple Hall event is our annual holiday evening, when we say a few words about the often-bizarre history of Knoxville’s Christmas, and bring out our best stocking-stuffers to sell. (We do have to make a living, after all.) But this time, we’ll welcome two unusual guest speakers, both of whom have published recent books for children. Wesley Bennett is the author of the unique and colorful book, The Kitty of Knoxville; Mike McDonough, a Maple Hall regular, has a book about Washington’s Secretary of War, Henry Knox, called Why Is My City Called Knoxville? They’ll both be there in person, and you can get your own kids, grandkids, or favorite nieces and nephews their very first autographed book. Free program. Food and drink available for purchase.
