Short Bio
F. Lynne Bachleda has been a freelance researcher and writer for more than thirty years, appling her expertise as a generalist for clients such as Bell South, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Brown University’s Foreign Policy Development Center, Chevron, Time-Life Books & Music, and former Secretary of State George P. Shultz at Stanford University, among many others.
She has authored twelve books, three honored with national distinctions. A Guide to the Natchez Trace Parkway reprinted by Menasha Ridge Press in 2011, earned the Independent Press Association’s prestigious Benjamin Franklin Award. Her most recent publication, From the Ground Up: Mystical Places of Memory & the Near Eternal: Essays Toward Home, is perhaps best described as spiritual archaeology on three continents.
Specializing in developing content and interpretive settings for museums, she has worked with Ralph Appelbaum Associates (New York), Douglas/Gallagher (Washington, D.C.), and 1220 Exhibits (Nashville) to create exhibits for clients such as the International Storytelling Center (Jonesborough), Branson Entertainment Hall of Fame (Missouri), Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (Knoxville), and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (Alabama).
A seventh generation Tennessean, she has collaborated many times with the Tennessee State Museum, most notably on the State of Tennessee’s Bicentennial Capitol Mall, a 19-acre urban park. Her granite-engraved research and writing there details the political, social, scientific, military, artistic, and natural histories of her home state.
She has been an aesthetic education teaching artist, principally for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, since 1988. Since 2010, she has fostered an interest to help people discover and preserve their legacies, and speak publicly on her convictions.
