William Whitner: The Spark Behind the Electric City

Let the story of William Whitner jump start your students’ learning this year. The local hero and brilliant engineer was the first to run electricity over a long distance in the South, earning Anderson’s nickname of “The Electric City.”

This exhibit features a sleek stand-alone display that is nearly eight feet tall and eighteen feet long. But no need to worry about space! This flexible IsoFrame design will bend into a variety of positions, including around corners and even in a wave.

William Whitner’s life touches on several goals and standards like those associated with industrialization, King Cotton, big business, railroads, and more. It will also hone learning skills like identifying change over time and recognizing cause and effect.

Sponsored by Duke Energy, this traveling exhibit can come to your school free of charge!
