‘Will this be a familiar sight on the highways and by-ways of Rutherford County soon? Anyway, with the automobile tire situation what it is, Jim Fatherly (left) and Al Ivie are prepared for a return to the gold old horse and buggy days, if necessary. Their conveyance is a phaeton made by Adam Bock, fine carriage maker of the Victorian age, who has his shop on East Vine Street (photo by Todd)
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.
