Historic Happy Hour: Pinewood Social

Pinewood Social will host HNI’s happy hour June 26 from 5-6:30 pm on their patio/pool deck with its Airstream bar. Come enjoy the atmosphere and hospitality and appreciate the success story of this repurposed trolley shed overlooking the Cumberland River. Our guest speaker is Carolyn Brackett, of Cultural Heritage Works, who will talk with us about the National Register of Historic Places program, how it works, and some examples here in middle Tennessee. Ms. Brackett served as Executive Director of Historic Nashville, Inc. in 1993 where she was involved with the early development of The District Program to revitalize Lower Broadway and Second Avenue. In recent years, Carolyn served as an ex-officio officer of HNI’s board of directors. In 2019, she developed a women’s history downtown walking tour. She served as a field officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation program for many years, amongst many other career achievements.

Parking will be in the Trolley Barns garage behind the building and is free with validation from the host at Pinewood.
