Fort Negley is a historic site dating back from the Civil War.
Located next to present day Greer Stadium, the fort was the largest
inland fort built during the Civil War, though it saw little combat. The
Fort Negley service project entails restoration of the site’s grounds. It
will offer students the ability to partake in the beauty of Fort Negley,
to help the community of greater Nashville, and to learn some history of
Union-controlled Nashville. This project is distinct in being one of
the few at MBA that entails mainly physical labor. Starts Saturday, September 21, and is scheduled for the 3rd Saturday of each month.
For more information on the project, contact Clay Cavallo or Dr. Bailey.
