The Tennessee State Museum is planning to launch a new website devoted to the history and culture of the people of Tennessee.

The website, www.tn4me.org, begins with prehistoric times and continues through the present day. It features 600 different articles and nearly 4,000 images all related to the history of the state.

The curatorial staff at the Tennessee State Museum created the site with school-aged kids in mind.

Research and development of the website was funded by a $194,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. It's been designated as one of NEH's "We the People" projects that will assist Americans in the understanding and learning about their country's history.

The Tn4me website is scheduled to go live on October 9.
