The Hill (Knoxville)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Central to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, the Hill is the colloquial name for the location of various buildings on the University of Tennessee's campus, most notably Ayers Hall. Along with Neyland Stadium and the Torchbearer statue and eternal flame, the Hill is one of the most recognizable symbols of the University.
During the American Civil War (1861-1864) the Hill was a fortified position southeast of Fort Sanders known as Fort Byington. It played a key role during the Siege of Knoxville.
