From the Collection:

Collection contains material related to the history and preservation of the town of Elkmont, Tennessee. Papers in the collection include correspondence and member rosters from the Appalachian Club, maps, newspaper articles, and advertisements for the Wonderland Hotel. Also included are photographic prints and negatives of the area.

The first folder, "Papers," includes correspondence from the Appalachian Club, member rosters, notices, maps, and advertisements for the Wonderland Hotel. The bulk of the papers are from the 1970s and 1980s, the years leading up to the expiration of property owners' leases and the ensuing fight to hold onto Elkmont properties. The second folder, “Articles and Brochures,” contains scans of newspaper articles from The Knoxville Journal and the Knoxville News-Sentinel advertising Elkmont's Wonderland Hotel and stories about the history of the town. Also included is an undated brochure advertising "The Beautiful Elkmont Country." The third folder, “Negatives,” contains undated photographic negatives of the people of Elkmont from the early twentieth century. The fourth and fifth folders, “Photographs” contain photographs of the Wonderland Hotel and various Elkmont cabins. Most are undated but were likely taken during the 1980s.
