The July session of Civil War Officer’s Training The July session of Civil War Officer’s Training Camp had a visit from a long-time friend of Travellers Rest. Mr. Gary Burke stopped by to teach the cadets about the United States Colored Troops that fought for their freedom during the American Civil War. Mr. Burke talked about the origins of the U.S.C.T., and their role in the Battle of Nashville. Mr. Burke is a reenactor with the 13thU.S.C.T. Living History Association and holds the rank of 1st Sergeant. Travellers Rest would like to thank Gary for his visit, and for his work to preserve and share this vital part of American history. #USCT #historictravellersrest #summercamp2021

You may remember a few weeks ago Grace Abernathy s You may remember a few weeks ago Grace Abernathy started the process of graining the outside access door by sanding and applying the base coat. Last Wednesday she added the faux touches of mahogany grain to the base coat using historic techniques of burlap cloth and various sizes of brushes and the following day she applied the glaze coat. The finished product looks great and after curing for a few days will have a varnish applied for protection from the elements. #historictravellersrest #historicpreservation
The Board of Directors at Travellers Rest Historic The Board of Directors at Travellers Rest Historic House Museum hosted a reception on July 15th honoring respective outgoing and incoming Board Presidents, Jim Gardner and Clint Holloway. Light hors d’oeuvres and beverages were enjoyed by honorees and guests including numerous benefactors, board members, and other friends during the 6-8 p.m. fete. Executive Director Dr. Katie O’Bryan commented that the celebration marked “a significant, positive transition of board leadership,” both in terms of successfully navigating the pandemic, as well as in setting a course for new programming, interpretive signage, exhibits, and addressing infrastructure. “We are extremely grateful to the Board of Directors who, under Jim’s watchful eye, with support from NSCDA-TN leadership, PPP loans, federal grants, and individual donors, encouraged and supported us through the most recent chapter of the Travellers Rest story,” O’Bryan said. “And the future is bright with Clint taking the reins as president,” she continued. “Clint brings a wealth of historical knowledge, business acumen, and thought leadership to the role, which will help us continue presenting authentic, inclusive, honest, and accurate interpretations for our audiences.” Travellers Rest Historic House Museum preserves and interprets the 1799 Overton home and landscape and provides a gateway for learners of all ages to explore and experience Nashville's historic past.
