History Mystery: Murder on the Knoxville Express. Historic Ramsey House. Sunday, July 22nd, 5:30pm

Take a ride with us on the Three Rivers Rambler, along the Tennessee River and back to the past, to explore one of the greatest literary mysteries of all time…

December 10, 1869: Knoxville’s first national literary star, George Washington Harris boarded the train in Lynchburg, VA, by the next morning, he lay dead, with the official cause listed as “unknown.” His valuable manuscript had vanished, never to be seen again.

As the Three Rivers Rambler winds its way to the Forks of the River, scenes (and clues!) from this historic whodunit will be presented to the passengers. At the end of the line, trolleys will meet the train to carry the guests to the antebellum peace of the Ramsey House for a picnic on the lawn. During the meal, the investigation will bring together all the information gathered on the train, giving the audience a chance to guess the solution to this famous puzzle. Ticket information here.
