"We shape our buildings; thereafter, our buildings shape us"
Winston Churchill
LOOKING BACK ON YEAR ONE
November 2023
It has been a landmark year for our young organization. The Preservation Society of Nashville was founded in December 2022, and we’re proud of everything we have collectively accomplished. We could not have done it without your support. This year, we protected, supported, engaged, established, and raised — all in the name of preserving the city we all hold dear.
Next year holds even more momentum and progress as we will be hiring the organization’s first Executive Director in first quarter of 2024. Nashville’s future is now. Help us honor its past.
As you enjoy the character and charm of Nashville this holiday season, we hope you will consider making a tax-deductible gift to continue our vital work. There’s also still time to become part of our legacy founding membership base. Thank you for your continued support, and we wish you a happy new year.
Sincerely,
Kelleigh Bannen and Colson Horton
