If you've been to a Knox Heritage event in the past year, you've likely been welcomed by enthusiastic volunteer and Business Member, Tobias Kight. Thank you, Tobias, for your volunteerism and contributions to the Knox Heritage mission! "I believe that historic homes have their own voices that tell a story about past owners, maintenance or remodels, happy humidity, sad squeaks and cracks, previous guests, and most importantly, future dreams. I joined Knox Heritage because I believe that they hear and care about all the voices, too, especially the yells of future dreams. So, two years ago, I became a Business Member of Knox Heritage to help encourage Knoxville to be more aware of how significantly history and preservation affects our future."
