SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of East Ivy Mansion
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 3\, 2018 at 10:00 am as we visit the East Ivy Mansion in Edgefield. \nBuilt in 1867 by AG Stanford\, the mansion has been home to various owners throughout the years. Notably\, its first homeowner was Tennessee native Senator Henry Cooper. Cooper served one term in the Tennessee House of Representatives\, after which he served as a judge. It is during this time that he frequented the East Ivy Mansion\, concurrently teaching as a professor at the Cumberland School of Law. Cooper was infamously shot and killed later in Mexico by bandits. \nThe East Ivy\, along with Henry Cooper\, remains an important part of Nashville history. A mainstay of the Historic Edgefield district of Nashville\, the mansion has stood the test of time through several natural and man-made disasters. East Ivy was one of the very few properties to survive the Great Nashville Fire of 1916\, a tragedy that destroyed most of the Italianate and Queen Anne style homes in the area. In 1933\, tragedy struck again when a tornado devastated most of Nashville\, once again demolishing hundreds of historic homes. The East Ivy Mansion\, however\, remains standing. It continues to be one of the few original historic properties in Nashville. Guests of East Ivy can see that the home has almost all of its original features. \nThroughout various owners and a handful of natural disasters\, the Historic East Ivy Mansion has\, incredibly\, stood the test of time. Most impressive of all is the fact that although East Ivy has undergone reconstruction and renovation throughout the years\, the estate boasts almost all of its original fixtures. In 195  the wall\, pool houses\, and gardens were constructed turning the estate into a beautiful\, expansive compound. After another 50 years of events\, rentals\, and memories made\, the East Ivy Mansion still stands as a tribute to this amazing piece of historic Nashville. \nStreet parking is available. \n**Please use the Eventbrite reservation form below.

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the Woolworth Building
DESCRIPTION:Join Historic Nashville on February 10\, 2018 at 10:00 am as we visit the Woolworth Building in downtown Nashville for a tour led by David Ewing \nPlease meet in front of the building on 5th Avenue. \nRead a little about the Woolworth Building from an article in Bisnow: \nAt 221 Fifth Ave. North\, the Woolworth Building was completed in 1930 and is a registered historic site as part of the Fifth Avenue Historic District. One of the original five-and-dime stores\, F.W. Woolworth offered discounted merchandise as well as an inexpensive lunch counter that\, before 1960\, was segregated. \nOn Feb. 13\, 1960\, 124 students from Nashville’s historically black colleges walked into Woolworth as well as other counters at Kress and McClellan\, sat down at the white-only lunch counters\, and asked to be served — to no avail. Their goal was desegregation. \nTheir peaceful protests intensified in the following weeks\, and were met with violent resistance\, until May 10\, when Nashville became the first major Southern city to begin desegregating its public facilities when six Downtown stores\, led by Harvey’s and Cain-Sloan\, opened their lunch counters to African-Americans. \nIn early 2017\, Morales’ company\, TomKats Hospitality\, took possession of the first floor\, mezzanine and basement level of the Woolworth Building\, previously a Dollar General\, and began work on restoring it. Much of the original architecture has been preserved\, including the upper level mezzanine\, gilded handrails and wall accents\, and hand-laid tile. Parts of the 18K SF space that could not be preserved were re-created to echo the style of the past: flowing staircases\, the rebuilt lunch counter\, wood-paneled walls\, turquoise colors and an Art Deco-inspired vibe. \n  \nRead more at: https://www.bisnow.com/nashville/news/retail/new-eatery-at-nashvilles-woolworth-building-honors-civil-rights-past-82311?utm_source=CopyShare&utm_medium=Browser \n  \n**Please use the Eventbrite reservation form below.

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Fort Negley Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Historic Nashville for a members-only tour of Fort Negley Park on Saturday\, October 7\, 2017 at 10:00 AM \nMeet at the Fort Negley Visitor’s Center at 10:00am. \n**Please use the Eventbrite ticket form below. If the form does not appear in your browser click here to RSVP. ** \n  \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite\n\nA Brief History of Fort Negley Park\nBy Krista Castillo \nIn 1805\, Judge John Overton of Travellers Rest began obtaining the property known as St. Cloud Hill. Although privately owned\, the wooded hill became a popular retreat from the growing city.\nIn February 1862\, the Federal Army took possession of Nashville. Over the spring and summer\, military officials\, recognizing the possibility of enemy invasion\, initiated an ambitious defensive strategy and the army seized private property for the purpose of constructing fortifications. In southeast Nashville\, Captain James St. Clair Morton selected St. Cloud Hill for due to its proximity to the southern approaches to the city via the Louisville/Nashville rail line and the Franklin and Nolensville Pikes. \nThousands of African Americans enslaved within the city and on nearby plantations viewed federal forces as protectors. Soon makeshift camps grew around the hills designated for fortifications. Unprepared for the massive influx of refugees and the challenges of hiring enough laborers to complete the defenses\, military officials formulated a system for employing former slaves. Plagued by internal disputes\, corruption\, prejudice\, and indifference\, the army rarely fulfilled promises of pay\, rations\, and shelter. As a result\, hundreds perished from exposure\, disease\, and hunger in the camps. \nPermanently displaced by war and the end of the slave system\, many African Americans remained in the refugee camps established on St. Cloud Hill. Over time\, these residents settled into comfortable neighborhoods surrounding Fort Negley. Children growing up in the segregated neighborhoods separated by St. Cloud Hill found freedom from society’s strict racial codes within the old fort’s protective walls. \nBetween the summer of 1862 and September 1867\, thousands of Federal troops\, including United States Colored Troops\, occupied St. Cloud Hill. Jacob Coonley’s 1864 panoramic image reveals soldiers peering over the eastern slope to the rail yard and the remains of more than 11\,500 Federal soldiers contained in three Federal cemetery lots on and around St. Cloud Hill\, including the City Cemetery. \nWhen the Federal Army abandoned Fort Negley’s stone skeleton and St. Cloud Hill in 1867\, picnickers returned to the site. Some envisioned a grand manicured boulevard stretching from an elaborate public park on St. Cloud Hill to the Capitol Building. Although attempts in 1913\, 1926\, and 1929 to establish a National Park at Fort Negley in honor of the Battle of Nashville were unsuccessful\, newspaper reports from across the country reveal the significance of the battle and the fort in American cultural memory. \nIn 1928\, the Nashville Park Board purchased the 50-acre parcel from Judge Overton’s heirs for the purpose of establishing a public park. Between 1934 and 1941\, funding and labor provided by the Works Progress Administration made restoration of the fort and enhancement of the park possible. The WPA Project Proposal dated May 1\, 1935 stated\, “The park will be a decided addition to the park system of the City of Nashville besides adding an excellent historical point of interest for tourists.” Fort Negley Park boasted four softball diamonds\, a hard ball diamond\, a lighting system\, stone bleachers\, a stone comfort station\, and a multi-level stone retaining wall constructed along the park’s eastern boundary. Decorative boundary walls along Chestnut Street and encircling the fort structure and the large stone entrance\, key components of WPA design and construction\, emphasized the city’s desire for creating a large multi-use park in south Nashville. These decorative walls\, the retaining wall\, and large portions of the bleachers remain on the property today. \nAlthough the surrounding African American neighborhood developed from the Civil War-era conscripted labor camps\, the eastern portion of Fort Negley Park catered to thousands of white ball players and spectators throughout the 1940s and 1950s. In 1946 and 1953\, the Park Board rejected requests from the African American community to designate Fort Negley as a “Negro” park. During the mid-1960s\, the construction of I-65 and I-40 displaced the neighborhoods located south of St. Cloud Hill forever altering the character of the area. Later\, the Edgehill Urban Renewal Program allowed for the leasing of portions of the park to the Children’s Museum (now Adventure Science Center) and the Nashville Baseball Club\, Inc.\, at nominal rates.\nWhile Metro sought to revitalize the area through new construction\, others worked toward national recognition of Fort Negley Park as a historic site. In 1975\, the site was recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Five years later\, Metro Historical Commission funded a study for the purposes of acknowledging “a growing awareness of the uniqueness of Fort Negley in the region” and for developing “a concept for the ultimate use of the historic resources to the advantage of the community at large.” In conclusion\, the study recommended eliminating unauthorized use of the site\, clearing the hilltop of uncontrolled vegetation\, interpreting the fort structure\, promoting tourism\, and providing basic amenities such as picnic tables and restrooms.\nThe Fort Negley Master Plan released in 1996 expanded on these recommendations\, calling for a interpretative center and dedicated professional staff. Fort Negley Park\, including the stabilized and interpreted fort structure\, opened in 2004. Three years later\, the city constructed the Fort Negley Visitors Center. The 2007 Supplement to the 1996 Master Plan\, recommended reclamation of the eastern portion of Fort Negley Park once the Nashville Sounds vacated the property. The plan envisioned the addition of a Civil War museum and research center\, a multi-purpose green space\, and a pedestrian connection to the Nashville City Cemetery. \nOf the five major fortifications constructed by 1864\, only Fort Negley remains today. \n

Fort Negley Park\, including the stabilized and interpreted fort structure\, opened in 2004. Three years later\, the city constructed the Fort Negley Visitors Center. The 2007 Supplement to the 1996 Master Plan\, recommended reclamation of the eastern portion of Fort Negley Park once the Nashville Sounds vacated the property. The plan envisioned the addition of a Civil War museum and research center\, a multi-purpose green space\, and a pedestrian connection to the Nashville City Cemetery. \nOf the five major fortifications constructed by 1864\, only Fort Negley remains today. \n
