’27/’37 is a locally owned and influenced publishing group with the intent of affordably reprinting out-of-print titles with an emphasis on the history of Blount County, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the surrounding areas.

As our experience increases, we hope to expand our mission to include helping individuals learn how to affordably and easily self-publish their own local history or genealogy sources by offering consultations and workshops.

The name ’27/’37 refers to the year Senator L.D. Tyson assured the residents of Cades Cove that they would never be forced to move for the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (1927) and the year the last Oliver left Cades Cove (1937).
