Yes, the official holiday this holiday weekend is Memorial Day. But did you know Saturday is also Statehood Day in Tennessee? This is the 215th anniversary of the founding of the Volunteer State. (Well, the anniversary is technically next Wednesday, June 1, but who celebrates on Wednesdays?)

• Blount Mansion, 200 W. Hill Ave. Open Saturday 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
