Mr. Bill Allen, who as a Navy corpsman stormed the beaches of Normandy is a proud Charter member of The Exchange Club of Murfreesboro (the host of the Healing Field).
Allen returned with a PBS documentary crew to the spot where he almost lost his life to view the wreckage of his ship, the LST 523, which sank to the sea floor of the English Channel after hitting an underwater mine.
Thank you, Sir, for your service!
Preserve and Promote OUR local history!
The Rutherford County Historical Society has been preserving and promoting OUR local history since 1971. Perhaps you are researching your family, your property, or perhaps just plain, old fun facts - the RCHS is an exceptional resource. The RCHS hosts 'Coffee & Conversation' each Saturday morning from 9 AM-noon at the Ransom School House Museum, 717 North Academy Street, Murfreesboro, TN. VERY informal, VERY fun, and VERY informative. Our funding comes from membership dues, grants, a trust fund, and donations. We have no paid staff - we are all volunteers thus every penny of your membership dues or donations goes to preserving and promoting our local history.
