For four decades, the Heritage Ball has emphasized the importance of historic preservation in the community and underscored the efforts of the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County. Generations of Williamson County residents have made a tradition of supporting the Heritage Ball, the community’s longest-running black tie event. The 2015 Ball cast a special spotlight on the ca. 1941 Old, Old Jail–the Foundation’s future headquarters and the community’s Big House for Historic Preservation!

The Heritage Ball includes a craft cocktail hour, a farm-to-fork menu, an impressive silent auction, and dynamic performances provided by two live bands!

For more information please visit Heritage Ball.

Producing the Heritage Ball is just one of the many activities of The Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County. Since 1967 the non-profit group has been dedicated to protecting and preserving Williamson County’s historic, architectural and geographic resources; in short, saving the places that matter.

About CASA

Our Mission

Advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children.

Our Vision

Every child in a safe and permanent home.

Thousands of children are abused or neglected every day in the United States. They are the victims of people who are unable or refuse to accept the responsibilities of raising a child. And through no fault of their own, these children are cast into a complex, chaotic and uncertain environment of courtrooms and foster care. They are alone and often times they are scared.

Williamson County CASA helps children in this situation every day. Speaking on their behalf in courtrooms, identifying safe homes for them to live in and listening to their stories. And while we consider this our mission as a non-profit organization, we are dependent upon people like you for monetary and volunteer support. Helping the helpless is a responsibility we all share.

About Women of Williamson –

Our mission is to empower women in our community with opportunity and hope for a brighter future.

Women of Williamson’s mission is accomplished in three ways.

First, through our program that supports the funding of scholarships for women seeking higher and continuing education.  The Women of Williamson Scholarship was established to benefit students who live in Williamson County and assists women who, either financially or by family circumstances, would not otherwise be able to complete a higher education degree and establish themselves as part of their community workforce.

Second, Women of Williamson supports Bridges Domestic Violence Center, the only shelter for domestic violence victims in Williamson County.

And third, breast cancer support and awareness, End Slavery Tennessee, and other local charities are also beneficiaries.
