In 2025 the world will remember the Scopes Trial, and Dayton, Tennessee, will be the center of attention!
Planning is underway to help our local community and Scopes Trial fans better understand what has been called “The World’s Most Famous Court Trial.”
Beginning in March 2025, the Rhea Heritage Preservation Foundation, in cooperation with Bryan College, the Rhea County Historical Society, the Rhea Economic and Community Development Office, and the Rhea County Office of Tourism, will offer a range of activities celebrating the centennial of the Scopes Trial.
Plan to be in Dayton July 11 – 19 for the play Destiny in Dayton, a symposium on the trial, and family-friendly activities on the courthouse lawn and around town. See how a little town caught the attention of the whole world and hasn’t let go.
