One of the oldest continuously operating community theatres in the Southeastern United States. Oak Ridge Playhouse began in 1943 as the Little Theatre of Oak Ridge when the city was being built for the World War II top-secret Manhattan Project. The Playhouse moved in 1957 into its permanent home, the former Center Theater movie house, in historic Jackson Square. In 2017, the Tennessee General Assembly designated the playhouse as an Official State Community Theatre of Tennessee.

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.
