For more than 50 years, The Tennessee Magazine has been the official publication of our electric cooperatives, keeping consumer-members informed about their co-ops, showcasing the wonders of electric service and highlighting the special events around the state.
The cover of the August 1972 magazine featured the high schoolers, teachers and chaperones who traveled to the nation’s capital that summer as part of the Youth Tour. Inside, readers also learned about a special “all seasons campground and family resort” in East Tennessee.
While our fashions, appliances and recipes have significantly changed since our first issue in 1958, our mission to entertain, educate and inform our readers has not. Here’s a glimpse of what members saw 50 years ago in The Tennessee Magazine. View the entire August 1972 edition online at tnmagazine.org.
