Historical Preservation in Nashville

When I found out that the National Trust for Historic Preservation was holding their Annual Preservation Conference in Nashville, I actually got a little weak at the knees and a wee bit giddy too.
Just imagine being graced with the chance to share our local history and be able showoff all of the historical places in our town to the who's who of just about every historical preservation group in Nashville and the nation- how exciting for Middle Tennessee and Nashville!

What's more exciting about the Historical Preservation Conference is its itinerary!(PDF)
It's incredible the opening plenary is, of course, being held in one of Nashville's most important preservation projects, the Historic Ryman Auditorium (photos). If that's not enough, this conference also covers plenty of lectures and work sessions on anything one could imagine concerning Historical Preservation and Historical Preservation in Nashville. One of the best parts of this conference is that it also offers several dozen visits, stops, lecture, & tours to some of Middle Tennessee's most historic places and explores the local efforts of Historical Preservation in Nashville.

There will also be plenty of other coinciding and unofficial NTHP events going on around town too!
The Conference is set to run from October 13th - 17th. Folks, you can register either online or onsite, but just to let you know you will get a substantial discount by registering online.

I'm confident that all of my Middle Tennessean Neighbors will make sure to give an extra special Southern Style Welcome to all of the conference attendees and their guests as they explore and learn about our wonderful community.
