Founder’s Day & Church’s Michaelmas Tea

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 artists and crafters on site at the Visitor Centre, food trucks on site, and other features, including a likely performance at by the Rugby Cornet Band. Bring the whole family for a day of wholesome fun and history extending back 146 years! FREE. Lodging is available at historicrugby.org under the “Lodging” tab. Also, Christ Church Episcopal will present its 20th Anniversary Annual Michaelmas Tea at the Friendly House behind Rugby’s church. Times are either Noon or 2:30 p.m. Eastern. Tickets are $20 per person. Spaces are limited so please reserve soon by contacting Bethany at 423-628-6250 or emailing her HERE.
