Welcome to my website,

My name is Jesse Williams. I have spent most of my life collecting old things in the hopes that one day I would start my own living history museum. I have worked with many different organizations and preservation groups. I hope to use this site as a springboard to start doing what I enjoy most. Sharing history and using my collection to educate and entertain. I want to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. So this page is part resume, part online presence and a lot of me being myself and hoping you will join along with the fun.

While most of my work history has been in the museum field, I currently work for the Historic Tennessee Theatre. I create engaging displays to enhance the audience experience and foster engagement. I am currently a student pursuing my bachelors degree in History. I hope to find my way back to the museum education and curation realm in the future. But for now, let’s have some fun exploring East Tennessee and my past work.

Please use the navigation bars at the top of the page to navigate the website and explore more.
