Farragut Museum is seeking photos and other artifacts to document the incorporation of the Town., which may be included in a new video about the Town’s incorporation or in a Farragut Museum exhibit recognizing the Town’s 40th anniversary in January 2020.

Physical items are also sought for the exhibit.

Items from the 1970s to after Farragut’s incorporation on Jan. 16, 1980, are needed. Photos of roads, neighborhoods, businesses, schools and other local entities would be especially helpful.

Determination on whether the item is appropriate for donation or loan is at the discretion of the Farragut Museum staff and based on what currently part of the collection.
