A documentary detailing "The History of Caney Creek Village (1912-1943)" will be screened at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, at the Museum Center at Five Points, 200 E. Inman St. in Cleveland, Tenn.
According to the filmmakers, the village was near Ocoee Powerhouse No. 2 on the Ocoee River in Polk County. Though isolated, the workers of the powerhouse and flume line enjoyed electricity, concrete sidewalks and indoor plumbing. There were no roads or cars, but the village had a trolley, hotel, school and tennis court. The film is based on interviews with six former residents.
Winner of an Award of Distinction from the East Tennessee Historical Society, the film was written and narrated by Debbie Moore, edited by Ron Moore and filmed by their son, Will Moore. John Cook provided original music. Running time is 54 minutes.
The screening coincides with an exhibit now on view, "One River, Many Stories: Ocoee River History and Heritage."
Admission to the screening is free for members. Nonmembers pay regular museum admission: $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and students.
