SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of WTVF News Channel 5
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special behind-the-scenes tour of the WTVF News Channel 5 on Saturday\, September 29\, 2018 at 9:45 am\, led by Storm 5 Weather Meteorologist Heather Mathis. \nWTVF is a is a CBS-affiliated television station in Nashville\, Tennessee. WTVF first signed on the air as WLAC-TV on August 6\, 1954. WLAC-TV was owned alongside WLAC radio (1510 AM) and later WLAC-FM (105.9 FM\, now WNRQ). With WLAC-TV\, Nashville became one of the smallest cities in the United States to have three fully separate network-affiliated commercial television stations. WLAC-TV was sold in 1975\, and new owners changed the station’s call sign to the current WTVF on December 1 (the callsign change was brought on due to an FCC rule in place at the time forbidding TV and radio stations in the same city but with different owners from sharing the same call letters). WTVF is currently owned by Scripps Media Inc. \nAs WLAC-TV\, the station helped launch the career of a young African-American reporter and local Nashvillian named Oprah Winfrey by making her a regular news anchor in the early 1970s. The station’s Studio A\, which was built in 1967 near the Tennessee State Capitol building\, was also the home of the hit show Hee Haw for most of its 1968 to 1993 run. Behind Winfrey\, the station’s most notable anchor is Greek-American Chris Clark (real name Christopher Botsaris)\, who served as the station’s main anchor for 41 years from 1966 to 2007\, longer than anyone in Nashville television history. In June 2006\, Clark reduced his daily anchoring schedule to only the weeknight 6 p.m. newscast and announced his retirement at the end of his contract in 2007. \nOn April 16\, 1998\, WTVF was knocked off the air due to an F3 tornado striking downtown Nashville. This occurred while meteorologists Ron Howes and Joe Case were broadcasting live\, showing the actual tornado from the station’s SkyCam as it entered downtown Nashville. Before the interruption of the signal\, which was caused by winds in excess of {{convert|100|mph|km/h|0}\, the station’s weather camera on top of AT&T Building (then BellSouth Building) captured the tornado as it moved into downtown Nashville during the station’s broadcast of wall-to-wall tornado warning coverage that afternoon. The station returned to the air shortly after that. \n***IMPORTANT INFO: \nYou must arrive by 9:45 AM. The tour will tour begin at 10:00 am. \nPark in the lot behind the station on 4th Ave N just before Harrison St.  \nWe will meet in the parking lot. \nWe encourage members to arrive early\, once the tour begins you will be unable to join later. \n======================================== \n**Please use the button below to register via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Newsom's Mill
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special behind-the-scenes tour of Newsom’s Mill led by park ranger Jacob Hardin on Saturday\, September 15\, 2018 starting at 10:00 am. \nThe original mill\, which was one of the first in our country to have its mill works inside a housed structure\, was built by William B. Newsom in the late 1700s. The original mill was destroyed by flood in 1808 and was rebuilt up stream from the original location. William and his family came to America from England after “Conflict with the Church of England” and settled briefly in Virginia. At the time\, America was encouraging immigrants and William Newsom was granted 550 acres in the western territories as a reward for bringing eleven family members to America. William’s son\, Joseph M. Newsom\, eventually assumed ownership of the mill and constructed the current turbine-powered grist mill in 1862 of hand-dressed limestone cut from Newsom’s Quarry\, a mile south. \n***Tour will meet in the parking lot.  \n======================================== \n**Please use the button below to register via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:HNI Behind-the-Scenes Walking Tour of Tennessee Bicentennial Capitol Mall
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walking tour of Tennessee Bicentennial Capitol Mall\, Landmark urban park honoring 200 years of statehood with Kem Hinton\, FAIA on Saturday\, July 14\, 2018 starting at 9:30 am. \n**Note: This tour will start a half hour earlier than our normal tours due to the recent extreme heat. With all the events scheduled in Downtown Nashville area the earlier we arrive makes it easier to find parking and avoiding the midday heat.** \nAlthough most Tennesseans first heard of the Tennessee Bicentennial Capitol Mall during the year of its celebration two decades ago\, the path of its creation is as old as the state itself. From details of the first settlements on the site of the Mall to descriptions of items still to come\, this tour will capture the essence of the park which was dedicated on June 1\, 1996. \nThis tour is a walking exploration of the 19-acre park\, an urban design achievement designed to honor and forever preserve an unobstructed view of Tennessee’s most important structure\, the State Capitol. Creating an educational and entertaining stretch of greenery with walkways featuring historical events\, including a granite map of Tennessee (one of the largest such maps ever made)\, the Mall has a fabulous story to tell. \nThe basic idea for this urban park originated several decades ago\, inspired by the National Mall in Washington\, DC. Yet the evolution of the site and surrounding vicinity is a fascinating\, tale stretching back for more than three centuries. The design process\, one involving a broad array of designers\, government officials\, members of the Bicentennial Commission\, and statewide ‘characters\,’ was long\, complex\, and at times controversial. With a theme of “the Land\, the People\, and the Music of Tennessee\,” the unique outdoor museum was conceived and fashioned. Full of elements and features that exalt the unique characteristic and history of the Volunteer State\, the award-winning Mall has become what was intended: a gift to the citizens of Tennessee. \nHinton is also the author of A Long Path: The Search for a Tennessee Bicentennial Landmark\, a hardback publication that documents the history of the site and the many factors that inspired and shaped the design of the Mall\, one of the largest post-WWII urban parks in our nation. It was released in 1997 by Hillsboro Press. Copies will be available during and after the tour. \nMeeting point will be at the enormous map of Tennessee on  James Robertson Parkway it in the shadow of the Capitol.  \n**Please use the Eventbrite reservation form below.

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Walking Tour of Union Street
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “A Historic Stroll Along Union Street” Saturday\, June 30\, 2018 starting at 9:30 am \n**Note: This tour will start a half hour earlier than our normal tours due to the recent extreme heat. With all the events scheduled in Downtown Nashville area the earlier we arrive makes it easier to find parking and avoiding the midday heat.** \nUnion Street today\, to most people\, is a dynamic place filled with banks\, hotels\, office buildings\, some restaurants and a half-dozen or more historic markers. Some will recall that Union Street became famous as “The Wall Street of the South.” Come learn why and what was here before that. We’ll see how Nashville grew from a pioneer outpost to a bustling young town with steamboat landings near one end of Union Alley and the railroad depot at the other end – a span of ten city blocks. We will walk these blocks slowly and stop to contemplate\, with a few photos to help illustrate and with narration by Tom Vickstrom. We’ll progress along the intersection of the old street names – Vine\, Spruce\, High\, Summer\, Cherry\, College and Market. We’ll see the former home of Felix Grundy\, pause at the place where Nashville’s first telephone call was made and where Nashville first recording engineers got their start. Anyone remember the site of the old YMCA? How about Nashville first public library? Hear about the motorcar in front of the Hermitage Hotel and the runaway horse. There’s that fine house the stage coach operator lived in when the civil war soldiers marched along the street. We’ll stop near a French restaurant\, once famous\, and continue through the banking district towards Market Square and “see” retail shops such as BH Stief Jewelry and Otto Giers photography. \nWe will meet in the courtyard of the War Memorial Building. Parking may be found in the lots below TSL&A and the state capitol if you don’t mind walking a few blocks. \n**Please use the Eventbrite reservation form below.

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Cohn High School & Historic Neighborhood Walking Tour

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Clover Bottom Mansion & Outbuildings
DESCRIPTION:Join Historic Nashville for a tour of the Clover Bottom Mansion & Outbuildings on Saturday May 19\, 2018 at 10:00 am. \n  \nClover Bottom Mansion is an outstanding National Register-listed  Italianate home located in the Donelson area of Nashville that has an extant collection of historic outbuildings\, including two of the few remaining former slave dwellings in Davidson County. The main house was built in 1858 by Dr. James and Mary Ann Saunders Hoggatt and was the centerpiece of the 1\,500-acre Clover Bottom Plantation. It was owned from the 1880s through 1918 by Louisiana Congressman Andrew Price and his family\, and then by the Stanford family prior to the State purchasing it in 1948. Under state ownership\, it has been a state trooper outpost\, apartments for Tennessee School for the Blind faculty\, and then regrettably it sat vacant and neglected during the 1980s. Since 1994\, it has been the home of the Tennessee Historical Commission\, the State Historic Preservation Office.Clover Bottom Plantation is important as the childhood home of John McCline\, whose autobiography “Slavery in the Clover Bottoms” provides a unique and detailed account of the life of an enslaved Davidson County youth prior to and during the early days of the Civil War. \nBehind-the-Scenes tour participants will briefly visit the main house\, and the tour will concentrate on the outbuildings\, including the former slave cabins\, the c. 1850s carriage house\, and the c. 1890s transverse crib thoroughbred horse barn. The barn is one of the finest late 19th-century barns remaining in the county. At the initiative of and with the guidance of the Tennessee Historical Commission\, the historic outbuildings were restored by  the State in 2015–16 and interpretive signs were placed. Over 150 trees of native species were planted as part of the project\, and a walking trail was added. Dan Brown\, Historic Sites Program Director for the Commission will lead the tour\, with Executive Director and State Historic Preservation Officer Patrick McIntyre. \n  \n  \n**Please use the Eventbrite reservation form below.

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Tennessee's Executive Residence
DESCRIPTION:Join Historic Nashville for a very special tour of the Tennessee’s Executive Residence on Saturday May 5\, 2018 at 10:00 am. \n  \nTennessee’s Executive Residence\, a classic example of stately Georgian architecture\, was originally known as “Far Hills” because of the beautiful view from the home’s 10-acre site. The three-story\, 16-room home was built for businessman William Ridley Wills\, founder of National Life and Accident Insurance Company\, and completed in 1931. \nThe property became the Volunteer State’s official governor’s home when the state purchased it in 1949 following Wills’ death. To date\, nine governors and their families have lived and worked in the Tennessee Residence\, including Gordon Browning\, Frank Clement\, Buford Ellington\, Winfield Dunn\, Ray Blanton\, Lamar Alexander\, Ned Ray McWherter\, Don Sundquist and Bill Haslam. \nDuring Phil Bredesen’s term (2003-2011)\, the Tennessee Residence underwent a major renovation led by First Lady Andrea Conte and the Tennessee Residence Foundation. Conservation Hall\, a 14\,000 square-foot subterranean meeting and banquet facility\, was built under the front lawn of the Tennessee Residence during the renovation project. The space is used to entertain for large events on the property and includes artwork created by Tennessee artists through the hall. \nOver time\, the Tennessee Residence and grounds have been a welcoming point for tens of thousands of Tennesseans\, as well as host to official functions for distinguished guests\, including Presidents John F. Kennedy\, Lyndon Johnson\, Ronald Reagan\, Bill Clinton and Vice-President Al Gore; legislative leaders; numerous governors; religious figures such as Rev. Billy Graham; and other distinguished dignitaries from around the world. \n  \n**IMPORTANT** In preparation for your visit: \n\nPlease arrive as close to 10:00 am as possible\, but no earlier than 9:50 am.\nIf possible\, please bring a photo ID. (Children exempt.)\nTours typically last an hour\, with an extra 10-min allotted for viewing the gardens and grounds.\nIf you are unable to attend\, please give 24 hours notice.\nWhen you arrive on the property\, please stop at the gate and give your name through the speaker to the trooper.\nOnce they check your name against the confirmed security list\, they will open the gate and direct you where to park.\n\n  \n**Please use the Eventbrite reservation form below.

SUMMARY:Historic Nashville Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Dutchman's Curve
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walking tour of Dutchman’s Curve on Saturday April 28\, 2018 at 10:00 am. \n  \nDid you know that the deadliest train wreck in US history occurred in West Nashville one hundred years ago? In 1918\, two locomotives—each hauling overcrowded passenger trains—smashed into each other on a set of railroad tracks known as Dutchman’s Curve. \nThe site of the train wreck is now part of the Richland Creek Greenway. \nHistoric Nashville Inc. member Betsy Thorpe is the author of The Day the Whistles Cried: The Great Cornfield Meet at Dutchman’s Curve. It’s a book that tells the story of the train wreck and the US Supreme Court case that followed. \nOn April 28\, Betsy will lead a members-only walking tour through a section of the Richland Creek Greenway. Giving a presentation specifically designed for Nashville Historic Inc.\, she will tell the story of the train wreck and discuss the historic architecture of the area. \nThe tour will begin on the old White Bridge. It will end at the Dutchman’s Curve Wayside\, a designated resting place on the Richland Creek Greenway. A 160-year-old limestone railroad abutment marks the wayside. \nBetsy contends that the two structures are the greatest artifacts of the train wreck. Using the bridge and the abutment as her frame of reference\, she will examine how understanding and documenting the history of old buildings and structures helps historians and storytellers like her interpret and record historical events and culture. \nPlease join us April 28 for this informative and interesting tour! \nWe will meet at the White Bridge Road Trailhead at the Richland Creek Greenway. See map. The historical marker for Dutchman’s Curve marks the entrance to the parking lot and parking is plentiful. This is a walking tour\, be sure to dress appropriately. The Greenway is handicap accessible.  \n  \n**Please use the Eventbrite reservation form below. If the form does not appear in your browser click here to RSVP. ** \n  \n  \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

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.
