Calendar of Events

Three Blind Vines is an annual wine tasting event presented by The Next Generation Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County. This party for a purpose continues to give all wine lovers, from a boxed wine enthusiast to a fine wine aficionado, the opportunity to taste different brands of French wine while benefiting a great cause: the Franklin Theatre. Due to the overwhelming success of last year's event, we are keeping the “1920s speakeasy” theme for 2012.  Costumes are encouraged, although not required.

Cost is $30/person ($40 at the door) plus 3 bottles of wine per team of 1-3 people (One bottle of French red, one bottle of French white, and a repeat of either). Admission includes entertainment, food from your favorite local restaurants & chefs, and the wine of course!

Using personal effects of soldiers, "How the West was Won and Lost" traces the major conflicts of 1862.  Accounts from both soldiers and civilians illustrate the confusion and fear of war in the homeland.  Accompanying the exhibitions will be lectures by renowned historians. 

The effects of Federal occupation on the city of Nashville are studied in "A Forced Union," accompanied by weapons, personal items, and accounts illustrating the struggles of both the occupying army and the civilian population.

Accompanying the exhibitions will be lectures by renowned historians.
