Ground has been moving at a fast pace at the Old, Old Jail project–and everyone is taking notice! At The Heritage Foundation, they are getting more and more excited as the days pass. With the excitement is a new way to support the Old, Old Jail—an initiative called The Key Club!
This initiative is similar to a fundraising effort The Foundation held during The Franklin Theatre renovation, in which they sold seats. In this case, the organization is providing replicas of a 1940s jail key for those who donate $1,000 to the future “Big House For Historic Preservation.”
In addition to receiving a numbered, one-of-a-kind key–designed by Foundation member Brian Laster–a sign will also be placed at the Old, Old Jail to recognize the Key Club donors.
The $1,000 gift may be paid in installments over two years. To purchase a key and support the Old, Old Jail rehabilitation, call Executive Director Mary Pearce at 615-591-8500 ext. 15.
When restored, the ca. 1941 Old, Old Jail will act as the Heritage Foundation’s first permanent home and serve as a resource to the community. To learn how, visit the Old, Old Jail webpage here.
