DESTINATION CUMBERLAND GAP, TENNESSEE. WHERE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY RUN THROUGH THE STREETS.
October 15-16, 2021
I hope you; your family and your friends are well. 2020 has been difficult year for all of us. Covid-19 has taken many lives and many people have recovered. I personally have many family members that got covet-19 and recovered. And one distance family member pass from it. All of which I have not seen in many years or have never met. I hope we all get well and get past this covid-19 and begin to fellowship more with our family and friends.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year is coming, and it seems to be approaching faster than past years. I hope you can enjoy fellow-shipping with your family and your friends. If you cannot visit them call, email, video phone or write a letter and mail it to them.

In 2001, Congress first passed a resolution, introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, creating Family History Month. Hatch wrote, “By searching for our roots, we come closer together as a human family.” Family history enthusiasts continue to celebrate National Family History Month every October. It has grown and evolved on a national stage, with community groups, historians, storytellers, and genealogical and historical societies promoting and celebrating National Family History Month as way to commemorate each family’s rich and deep history.
Come to the Historic Town of Cumberland Gap, Tennessee October 16-17 and celebrate National Family History Month with the Genealogy Jamboree and Pioneer Days. We’ll have Genealogical and Historical societies, Lectures by genealogist and historians, Crafters, Living History and others.
The Genealogy Jamboree and Pioneer Days is A FREE FAMILY FESTIVAL EVENT where all can learn their FAMILY HISTORY and Heritage. See the lifestyles of our Pioneer Ancestors. Demonstrations are by Craftsmen/women, Native Americans and other Re-enactors. Our other exhibitors are genealogical and historical societies, speakers, surname tents, authors and crafters.
