The South Pittsburg Historic Preservation Society received approval in late 2013 for the Tennessee Historical Commission marker for Christmas Night Shootout 1927, which resulted in part from a labor dispute at H. Wetter (Stove) Manufacturing. The Society paid the $1750 cost of the marker, which was delivered by the Tennessee Department of Transportation on June 16th.
Location: 298 Cedar Avenue, South Pittsburg, (Marion County), Tennessee.
