New Brochure Unveiled

2012 started off with excitement over the new &  improved Marble Springs brochure.  We worked closely with the design team at Robin Easter Design to ensure the  “Pamphlet on the Last Home of John Sevier” perfectly captures the historic & rustic nature of our site, all while concisely conveying important information about John Sevier, the historic site, the Governor John Sevier Memorial Association (GJSMA) & facilities information.  

The brochure also features a QR code which, when scanned, will take smart phone users directly to our Facebook page.
