On September 14, Preservation Society of Nashville welcomed nearly 200 preservationists, historians, and supporters to Neuhoff District, a mixed-use transformation of Nashville’s 1900s meatpacking district in Germantown.
The night was a celebration of the inaugural fundraiser, Paint the Town. During the lively cocktail party, plein-air painters from The Chestnut Group were stationed throughout the space working on paintings of historic sites in Nashville, including Fort Negley and the Belle Meade Theatre, which were later auctioned off to benefit the cause. Preservation Society of Nashville co-founders Kelleigh Bannen and Colson Horton presented the Sondra Morris Impact Award to Meg Hershey and unveiled the appointment of David Greider as the nonprofit’s first executive director.
