Postmark Jamboree

Postmark LaFollette hosted a monthly radio program entitled Postmark Jamboree from the Postmark Arts, Culture and History Center. The radio broadcasts and TV simulcasts featured local musicians and storytellers and honored historical broadcasts like the Tennessee Jamboree and a 20th Century weekly barn dance show. The City of LaFollette partnered with Postmark LaFollette by providing the WPA-era US Post Office for cultural programming.
