Open Doors History Event
Hosted by the Eden’s Ridge Hearth Cookery Society and Exchange Place Junior Apprentices, join us as we open the doors to our buildings and open doors to the past!

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Exchange Place will be open to the public for this special event. Guests can explore the farm and learn about life on Eden’s Ridge in the mid 19th century. We’ll be giving a special nod to our ancestors from the Revolutionary War too.

Admission is just $5 for those 12 and up. Please note that no food or drink will be provided at Open Doors!, so guests are encouraged to bring snacks and water.

EVENT CALENDAR PURPOSE AND CRITERIA

A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.

Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.

Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
