An evening of fun, food and good music for historic preservation celebrating and showcasing the historic Baskette/Woman's Club Building. The Woman’s Club of Murfreesboro will celebrate 106 years with the 2022 Legacy Gathering on July 23, 2022, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. This fundraising event will celebrate the founding of The Woman's Club and its historic Library and will benefit the continued preservation efforts for the Baskette/Woman's Club house. Built in 1856, the beautiful Italianate house became the permanent home to The Woman’s Club in 1916 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At this location, a group of The Woman's Club's founding members organized and operated the first public lending library in Murfreesboro which served the community until Linebaugh Library opened in 1948. The Woman's Club today preserves and maintains the historic collection. Guests at the Legacy Gathering will enjoy a delicious small plate and dessert bar provided by Tasty Table and Olive Branch Bakery, along with wine provided by Stones River Total Beverages, as well as tea and other beverages. Tickets for this event are $75 per person which includes food, music and beverages. All proceeds from this event will benefit the Historic Preservation Fund designated for this beautiful historic building.
