Paddle back in time to visit the historic Freels Cabin and enjoy the awesome beauty of the Clinch River.  Participants will learn more about the Manhattan Project as well as its impact on Oak Ridge and the surrounding areas.  Together, we will visit the cabin which was built and then remodeled during the 1800s by the Freels family of Anderson County.  It has maintained its historical significance all these years and now resides on Department of Energy property.
