Rugby, Tennessee: Being Some Account of the Settlement Founded on the Cumberland Plateau
Quantity
Book description
Rugby is a non-aligned community in Morgan and Scott counties in the US state of Tennessee.
Rugby is an experimental utopian colony founded by English author and lawyer Thomas Hughes in 1880.
Although Hughes' experiment partly failed, a small community lingered in Rugby throughout the 20th century.
In the 1960s, residents, friends and descendants of Rugby began rebuilding the original design and planning of the community, preserving the surviving structures and remodeling others.
Since then, the Victorian architecture and picturesque setting of Rugby has made it a popular tourist attraction.
In 1972, the Rugby Historic Area was listed as a Rugby Colony on the National Register of Historic Places as a Historic District.
This book presents the history of Rugby since its inception by the founder himself, firsthand.
The book was written and published just a year after the founding of the colony and will help the reader to feel the spirit of that time.
