The Foundation

Our Mission

The Rhea Heritage Preservation Foundation exists to celebrate the history, heritage and culture of Rhea County through diverse programs, exhibits and preservation of resources.

The Scopes Trial Festival

Countdown to 100

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 will present programs about the trial, combined with events that recall the festive atmosphere in Dayton during the Trial.

 

Plan to join us in July 12-13, 2024, for the 35th annual Scopes Festival – a weekend full of music, food, games and the play DESTINY IN DAYTON. And stay tuned for updates about the Scopes Trial Play in 2024.
