Ijams Nature Center evolved from humble beginnings in 1910 into a natural showplace known as the Bird Sanctuary, developed by Harry Ijams, Knoxville's leading bird expert, and Alice Yoe Ijams, "First Lady of Knoxville Garden Clubs". In the 1960s, the Knoxville Garden Club, Knox County Council of Garden Clubs and the City of Knoxville joined forces to create the Ijams property into a public nature park. Over the years, Ijams Nature Center, as a non-profit organization, has grown in size and stature to become the region's leading wildlife sanctuary and environmental learning center incorporating Mead's and Ross Marble quarries, which in their heyday produced Tennessee marble used in local building and national monuments. Now, over a hundred years later, Ijams Nature Center is still a gathering point for birder and nature-lovers alike.
