TPT AWARDED LOWE'S RESTORATION GRANT
Partnership Project will restore 
Cairo Rosenwald School

The Tennessee Preservation Trust is pleased to partner with the
Cairo Rosenwald School in Gallatin, one of seventeen Rosenwald Schools selected to receive a generous restoration grant from Lowe’s and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  The Cairo Rosenwald School, located just outside Gallatin in Sumner County, is owned and maintained by the Cairo Improvement Club.  Trustees of the Cairo Improvement Club worked with the MTSU Center for Historic Preservation and the Tennessee Preservation Trust to complete the grant application.  The funds will be used to stabilize the foundation, repair the roof, update electrical work, and restore the building to its original design.  Once complete, it will continue to serve as a community and meeting center and rental facility for events.   read more
The Tennessee Preservation Trust (TPT) is a membership-based statewide non-profit historic preservation education and advocacy organization. Headquartered in Nashville, TPT represents thousands of the state's heritage supporters through its individual members and organizational affiliates. We strive to be the critical link for the state's diverse heritage community. Our organization helps monitor and promote preservation-friendly legislation at the local, state, and federal levels, and assists citizens across the state with advocacy issues pertaining to specific historic sites—as well as historic districts and zoning issues. TPT has a committed staff, an active board of directors, and many dedicated volunteers throughout Tennessee.

Ongoing annual programs range from the Statewide Preservation Conference—enabling hundreds of Tennesseans to learn about tangible ways to protect their heritage—to the Ten in Tennessee List, a yearly roster highlighting the state’s most endangered historic places. In 2003, TPT debuted a State Preservation Awards program.  TPT believes in being accessible to all Tennesseans, and the group tries to hold at least one event in each grand division of the state per year.
