The Northeast Nashville History Project

The Northeast Nashville History Project, a partnership between the CHP, First Baptist Church East Nashville, and Nashville Public Library Special Collections, was launched in 2015 when CHP director Van West was invited to assist the Metropolitan Nashville Historical Commission in assessing historic properties north of East Nashville’s fast-developing Main Street corridor.  Community members Sam McCullough and Leslie Boone worked with Denise Gallagher Fisher to organize a series of history days to capture images and stories from community elders. I volunteered to help with the history days, helping community members  with what pictures and documents they wanted digitized.
