"The Wheat Community was settled during the middle of the 19th
Century and took its name from the first postmaster, Frank Wheat.
The area had originally been known as Bald Hill. Roane College, a
liberal arts college, operated here from 1886-1908. Wheat was one
of four area communities acquired by the federal government, in
1942, for the Manhattan Project."
George Jones Memorial Baptist Church and Cemetery is about a half mile down a gated gravel road from Route 327, just off the "Oak Ridge Turnpike" to the west of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Wheat Community Monument is about another half mile farther down the same gravel road.

The
50th
Anniversary Edition (archive, 2001) of
ORNL Review
had extensive articles about the history of the nearby national
lab. Excerpts here from
Chapter 1
include discussion of Wheat and the other communities.

| Quote of the moment |
| There is an art, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day and try it. The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt. That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard. Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties. |
