This summer, Tusculum faculty members will share the county\u2019s impressive history in a six-week course available to community members and the university\u2019s students. Called \u201cA History of Greene County in Six Objects<\/a>,\u201d the class will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays starting June 29.
