Area schools closed on eclipse day. Some businesses, government offices closed between 1 and 2 PM for eclipse peak.

Local officials are making plans for an influx of visitors on Monday, August 21 for the Total Eclipse of the sun and traffic could be heavy.


With Crossville being very close to the center line of totality a large influx of visitors is possible with most all hotel rooms locally already reserved but many others could just drive in for the day.

Everything you need to know about the eclipse.

After several weeks of holding the line, the Cumberland County school system announced they would close for the day of the eclipse on Wednesday evening. All schools and central offices will be closed for the day. Crossville private schools will also be closed, Crossville Christian School and Christian Academy of the Cumberlands. Other area schools that will be closed include Morgan, Fentress, Putnam, Roane and Rhea Counties.


In addition, the Crossville city hall and city offices will be closed between 1 and 2 PM at the height of the eclipse. Also closed for that peak eclipse hour is the Progressive Bank, Highland Federal Savings & Loan, Cumberland Co. Bank, First Bank, and the Upper Cumberland Federal Credit Union.
