The Marco Institute
The Marco Institute is an internationally acclaimed center for the study of the history and culture of the early periods, from roughly 300 to 1700 C.E. It was created in the early 2000's to provide a physical home for the university's impressive Medieval and Renaissance Studies program. Learn more at http://marco.utk.edu/

The Tennessee Medieval Fair is in its 3rd year of operation, and in the past hosted 6,000 patrons in just seven days.
