Ellis piloted thousands of loyal East Tennesseans across Southwest Virginia to Eastern Kentucky where they could join the Union Army. Brian D. McKnight, Ph.D. of History at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, will lead this interesting tour.

Participants must bring their own lunch. The tour fee is $25 per person. Seating is limited, so be sure to call and reserve your spot today. Registration is required.
