Dedicated to the Protection
of the Historical Resources
of the French Broad River Communities

The French Broad Preservation Association is a non-profit corporation composed of caring neighbors working to preserve this area for future generations. We realize that the communities of Riverdale, Frazier Bend, Kelly Bend, and Seven Islands-Kimberlin Heights form one of the most well preserved agrarian landscapes in rural East Tennessee and these communities are constantly threatened by unplanned development.

The FBPA's purpose is to be an advocate for a balance of planned growth that conserves, preserves, and enhances the rural farming culture and lifestyle of a diverse and vibrant community while sustaining a strong sense of place. We do that by working with city, county and state officials to make sure that they listen to, respect and include all stakeholders in planning our community's future.

The French Broad Preservation Association meets on the second Monday of each month at Riverdale School on Thorn Grove Pike at 6:30 p.m.
