The TVA anniversary quilt can be viewed at the Knoxville complex.

On May 18, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into effect the Tennessee Valley Authority Act. Today, the TVA still serves millions of people through energy, environment and economic development.

To commemorate its rich and productive 75-year history, a TVA committee decided to tell the corporation’s story through three photographic quilts, since quilts are a traditional art form in the region.

The identical quilts showcase the most significant moments of the TVA’s history through 24 photographs.

You can also view the quilts in person at TVA’s Knoxville complex, open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Showings at other TVA locations are planned throughout 2009.
