Thank you for attending this special hosted Garden Party and for your support in helping us raise the funds needed to preserve the LEGACY of this club and its historic building.
The Woman’s Club of Murfreesboro and its 2026 Legacy Gathering co-chairs and committee members announce its signature fundraising event, a Summer Garden Party.
We are asking for the community's support as we continue the restoration and preservation of the Woman's Club Building, also known as the Baskette House. The building, built in 1856, now 170 years old, was bought in 1916 by the Woman's Club of Murfreesboro. Located one block off East Main Street at 221 East College Street, the Woman’s Club is one of only a few pre–Civil War buildings remaining in downtown Murfreesboro.
The Club, its history spanning 139 years, has contributed to Murfreesboro in many ways; housing the first permanent lending library, providing a home for the first Rutherford County nurse prior to a hospital, beautification projects downtown, support for soldiers’ families during the world war years, scholarships, as well as a meeting place for numerous civic groups and a host to community and family celebrations.
This past year's work included re-wiring the entire house to current codes and standards, removing the original 1920's wiring in the house, plumbing updates, the refurbishing and restoration of the tenant space upstairs, and the restoration of three original 1856 sashes and windows above the front porch. Support from generous community friends helped make this work possible.
Going forward, work will include continued plumbing updates, create a handicapped bathroom, basement and flooring support of the kitchen, prep room, assembly room and continue exterior restoration.
Ronnie and Donna Barrett are graciously sharing their lovely garden for this Legacy Gathering. We hope to see you there and thank you for your generous support.
Your support is essential to help us preserve this historically significant part of Murfreesboro architecture and history!
