At the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN, our goal is to build as many relationships as possible with historic property owners so that they continue to care for and value their historic buildings. With a treasure trove of online resources at our fingertips, we are always on the lookout for potential threats to historic properties. By closely monitoring real estate listings, attending crucial meetings, and offering expert advice to homeowners, our team works tirelessly to protect our architectural heritage. And now, with our innovative public preservation easement program, we are making it easier than ever for people to safeguard their historic homes for generations to come.

The Franklin Theatre is another shining example of our downtown preservation efforts. By hosting a dazzling array of shows and events throughout the year, they're not only entertaining crowds but also breathing new life into our historic building. This vibrant cultural hub is a magnet for visitors and locals alike, helping to ensure our downtown remains a thriving and beloved part of our community.

Beyond preserving the physical beauty of the Perkins Winstead Mansion and the Haynes Berry Mansion, Franklin Grove Estate & Gardens offers the unique opportunity to tell the story of education, particularly for women and African Americans, in Williamson County. By repurposing these historic gems into a public space, we're not only preserving them but also inspiring a new generation to appreciate the value of historic preservation. And then there's the Lee-Buckner Schoolhouse, a shining example of our commitment to protecting the legacy of African American education. We are currently in the process of restoring this Rosenwald School, so stay tuned for exciting updates!
