Welcome to the Tennessee Valley Hunt
The Tennessee Valley Hunt was founded in 1989, registered in 1991, and recognized by the MFHA in 1993. TVH is unique in that most of the founding members had never foxhunted prior to forming the hunt. They were, however, most intrigued with the concept. Fortunately, the founders befriended Dr. Todd Addis, of Elverson, PA, who agreed to bring his fine pack of Penn-Marydel foxhounds to Tennessee. He and his wife, Happy, taught the fledgling foxhunters all about hunting and TVH was born. Before they returned to PA, the Addises made a gift of 20 couple of Penn-Marydel Hounds to TVH. The Tennessee Valley Hunt now enjoys hunting fox, coyote and boar in several counties surrounding Knoxville, Tennessee. The territory is a mixture of private and public lands, with rolling open fields and some steep woodland. Members particularly enjoy hunting the picturesque bottom lands of the Tennessee, Holston, and Clinch Rivers. Jumps are coops and post and rail. Hounds are kenneled on Hound Hark Trail, near Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, on beautiful rolling land owned by Hugh Faust, ex-MFH. TVH employs a professional huntsman to care for, train, and hunt the pack. TVH is known for its passion for sport, the excellent cry of its Pennmarydel hounds, friendly subscribers and gracious southern hospitality. Please take a look at the PDF Link on this page which describes our very special relationship with Blackberry Farm.
