Desegregated in 1955, the large outdoor pool has remained an oasis over the years for city residents, tourist, and patrons from surrounding communities. It is a civic icon and an Oak Ridge landmark remembered fondly by locals as well as a summer destination for families from across East Tennessee. The spacious poll has both a historic past and potential to contribute to the quality of like in Oak Ridge for many future generations of local families and guests to our fair city.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
