Rutherford County Heritage Festival

Rutherford County's second annual Heritage Festival was celebrated on October 23.  Special events occurred at Cannonsburgh Village, Bradley Academy, Oaklands Historic House Museum, the Sam Davis Home, the Children's Discovery House, and on Public Square.  The Gore Center mounted a tabletop display of historic Rutherford County photographs in the foyer of the Courthouse, while the County Archives hosted an open house.  County Mayor Nancy Allen conducted four 30-minute tours of the Courthouse, which is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of only six antebellum courthouses still standing in Tennessee.  The tours generated a lot of traffic for both the Gore Center display and the County Archives open house, so all in all the day was a grand success!
