Birthplace of Tennessee Ernie Ford

The Bristol Historical Association is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of Bristol, Tennessee, through educational programs and significant historical property restorations. Recently, the organization received a Virginia Humanities grant to enhance exhibits related to the area's 18th and 19th-century history, including a focus on the important figure Robert Preston, the first surveyor in Washington County, Virginia.

The association also plays a vital role in recognizing and designating historically significant properties within the city, thanks in part to contributions from local supporters. With initiatives like the Landmark Designation program and community events such as parking services for local festivals, the Bristol Historical Association actively engages the community and fosters an appreciation for the region's heritage.
