Real Estate News, Etc.

I just had the pleasure of visiting with Jennifer Butt of The Heritage Center of Murfreesboro & Rutherford County.  She and they have a wealth of information on the history of the area, and have modest permanent exhibits and several mobile displays on location, but more importantly a good resource to begin research of your areas of cultural, geographical and historic interest.

The center is a joint venture of the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area and Main Street Murfreesboro / Rutherford County, Inc.  Additional sponsors include the City of Murfreesboro, Middle Tennessee State University, Rutherford County, and State Farm Insurance. The Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area receives funding from the National Park Service and is administered by the Center for Historic Preservation at Middle Tennessee State University.

They also will do presentations for school classes and civic groups looking for programs, and can prepare their programs specific to the audience.   

Hours:
Open M-F, 10 a.m.- 3 p.m.; Walking tours available on the hour. Group tours available Monday-Saturday by advance reservation.  Tomorrow, May 15, is a FREE DAY in coordination with other Rutherford County sites, however, the normal addmission is also FREE.

The center is located at 225 W. College St., Murfreesboro, TN 37130, just off the courthouse square.  Their website is www.tncivilwar.org.
