Farragut residents can step back in time at the Farragut Museum’s new temporary exhibit, Kitchen Classics, which runs through February 2027. The display features vintage utensils, cookware and a collection of handwritten recipes from local cooks, highlighting how family meals were prepared in earlier generations.
“For a special Farragut twist, there are also several handwritten recipes on display from Farragut cooks. We all know how these recipes become family heirlooms and are passed down from generation to generation,” said Kristi Vining, historic resources coordinator for the town of Farragut.
In addition to the museum exhibit, the town’s holiday season includes several craft fairs that let neighbors shop for handmade gifts while supporting local seniors and artisans. The West Knox County Senior Center will host a craft fair on Friday, November 13, from noon to 3 p.m., and the Cackling Hens Holiday Craft Fair will take place Saturday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 860 U.S. 321 in Lenoir City.
Community members seeking assistance can also attend a Community Health & Resource Event on Tuesday, November 17, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the CAC facility, 2247 Western Ave. The event provides information on health services, housing, employment and caregiving resources.
These events underscore the importance of preserving family traditions, supporting local creators and offering practical help to neighbors in need—key ingredients that keep Farragut’s community spirit thriving.
