Sites to Save 2023
The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN, has compiled its third annual Sites to Save list, which seeks to identify historic places in Williamson County that are vulnerable to demolition, development or neglect.
The Sites to Save list is designed as a tool to help the community come alongside the Heritage Foundation in its efforts to raise awareness of Williamson County’s significant historic, cultural, geographical and archaeological resources, including buildings, structures, cemeteries, historic districts, archaeological sites, natural and cultural landscapes, while respecting the rights of property owners whose land may include such resources.
