Founder’s Day, 2023
October 7 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT
On Founder’s Day we honor Rugby, TN, founder Thomas Hughes (1822-1897) but also award someone else from recent history instrumental in propelling Historic Rugby and Hughes’ now-renowned village into the present and future. There will be vendors, most likely a food truck, tours of the historic buildings and other festivities. Bring the whole family for a day of wholesome fun and history extending back 143 years! FREE. Details will be added here when available.
