SUMMARY:Irish Road Bowling on Rugby Parkway
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a FREE outdoor participant/spectator game of Irish Road Bowling right in the middle of Rugby on slightly traveled Rugby Parkway. Teams form as the game starts\, depending on who is there. All ages! Takes about one hour on the route used.  Play or just watch as the game proceeds west\, then east. We yell “CAR” to clear the pavement if one approaches. Starting point is the Historic Rugby Print Shop\, or near it. This involves tossing an iron ball down the road\, with the team making it back to the finish (also start) in the fewest throws being declared that day’s CHAMPIONS and getting their picture on Historic Rugby’s Facebook page! A sooty trophy (survived Harrow Road Cafe fire in 2020) is held in the photo — and much fun is experienced by all. (Visit YouTube to see how it’s played in Ireland. We don’t bet on the outcome like they do. Our teams are very amateur/impromptu!) START TIME FOR TEAM PICKS IS 6 p.m. EASTERN\, or 5 Central for those coming across the nearby bridge from Fentress County. [Note 2 exceptions: June 22 starts at 5 p.m. EDT\, and Sept. 8 is the only Sunday date]

SUMMARY:Cemetery Lantern Tour Sept. 20
DESCRIPTION:Once a year this event shares more of Rugby’s true stories about real people of the past than any other. Hear in their own words from letters\, diaries & other accounts what brought 10 settlers to Rugby and what their ultimate fate was. Some met tragic ends. Others had long\, interesting lives. All are buried in Rugby’s Laurel Dale Cemetery\, site of the event (except in 2023 when a thunderstorm forced a move into our theatre). Because it’s sacred ground\, we limit participants to 40 — and it always sells out\, so watch here for a ticket link when one is added. IN THE EVENT OF RAIN\, PLEASE GO TO THE VISITOR CENTRE’S REBECCA JOHNSON THEATRE. \n   \n \n

SUMMARY:Storytelling/music/poetry event\, FREE
DESCRIPTION:The Bloom Stage\, in collaboration with Poetry in the Boro\, is thrilled to announce its inaugural event at Historic Rugby’s Rebecca Johnson Theatre on September 21\, 2024. Titled “Diptychs\, Doubletakes\, and Doppelgangers: The Power of Two in Our Stories\,” this live\, multi-genre show promises an evening of storytelling\, poetry\, live music\, and art. \nThe show starts at 7:00 PM Eastern Time\, and will explore the dualities inherent in human experience—love and hate\, past and present\, light and dark\, and many more. From sweet and sour to his and hers\, the program invites audiences to delve into the richness of these contrasts and comparisons through the creative expressions of established and emerging artists. “As a part time resident in Rugby\, I am beyond excited to bring this show to my home village\, celebrating the diverse narratives that unite us\,” said Kara Kemp\, founder and co-producer of the Bloom Stage. “This collaboration with Poetry in the Boro underscores our commitment to fostering community through art.” \nThe show will be hosted at Historic Rugby’s Rebecca Johnson Theatre\, located at 1331 Rugby Parkway\, Rugby\, TN\, inside the Visitor Centre. Following the performance\, attendees are invited to enjoy libations and light refreshments\, continuing the evening’s celebration of artistic expression. Admission to the event is free\, thanks to a generous grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission and Historic Rugby. Donations are encouraged to support Historic Rugby’s preservation efforts. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. “Participating in the arts–whether as an audience member or as a performer–nurtures our human connection\,” said Kory Wells\, founder of Poetry in the Boro. “The creative initiatives that Kara and I direct have been serving and building communities in Murfreesboro since 2016. We’re grateful and delighted that the support of the Tennessee Arts Commission and Historic Rugby is allowing us to expand our creative circle beyond middle Tennessee and onto the Cumberland Plateau.

SUMMARY:New Year's Day Hike
DESCRIPTION:Start 2025 off right with a scenic hike on a few of Rugby’s little trails. We’ll traverse the Massengale Trail\, Allerton Ridge Trail\, the Historic Trail & the Laurel Branch Trail\, starting at 10 a.m. from the Rugby Visitor Centre. Be prepared for the possibility of cold weather and dress accordingly. Rugby’s already had at least 2 little snows in December.

NO RESERVATION NEEDED\, just be there at the start.

SUMMARY:Kellogg's Loop Trail Work Day (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:Rugby State Natural Area friends and trail volunteers: The work for this date (Jan. 4) has now been cancelled because of predicted bone-chilling weather.\n \nTravis Bow\, our stewardship ecologist for the newly created Upper Cumberland District of State Natural Areas\, has been rerouting sections of Kellogg’s Loop in preparation for rebuilding Little Creek Bridge. There are opportunities for volunteer work in trail clearing\, invasive plant removal\, applying paint blazes to mark the trail\, and clearing the way to the bridge construction site. Hours of volunteer labor will count as in-kind matching for the Little Creek Bridge reconstruction grant. \nTravis is scheduling four winter trail work days: Saturday\, January 4; Saturday\, January 18; Saturday\, February 1; Saturday February 15. We’ll meet 10 a.m. Eastern at the Rugby Visitor Centre and proceed from there to the project site. He will publicize these on the TDEC website soon. Please mark these dates on your 2025 calendars\, watch for more information on the websites\, and plan to help on one or more of these work days if you can.  Travis has a trail-clearing machine\, so volunteer efforts would likely include a bit of raking and light clearing after the machine has done its cuts.\n\nThe bridge grant still requires a match of at least $30\,000 in real dollars. We’ve raised just about $23\,000 to this point\, so please consider making a year-end monetary contribution to Historic Rugby designated for Bridge Replacement. That would be a great memorial tribute to Eric Wilson and Bob Hemminger\, who first showed Beacon Hill newcomers the Crack and aspired to make it more accessible via Cox Branch Trail and the old wooden bridge. \nThanks very much\,  Benita Howell\n(Photo is the old bridge after it washed downstream in 2021 flooding)

SUMMARY:"still\," Bloom Stage show w/Bobby Taylor
DESCRIPTION:This multi-genre art show explores the interplay between stillness\, movement\, flow and stagnation: the transitions that define our seasons of life. From the quiet introspection of winter — literal or metaphorical — to the moments when we emerge and move forward\, this show invites reflection on the rhythms of time\, change and transformation.  FREE with suggested $10 donations accepted at the door or by clicking HERE for nonprofit Historic Rugby\, Inc. \nJUST ANNOUNCED: A legend on so many levels\, Bobby Taylor has been a beloved presence at Poetry in the Boro\, gracing our open mic with his words\, wisdom\, and signature style. Now\, we’re thrilled to bring him to the feature stage FOR THIS EVENT.  Whether you’ve heard him before or this is your first time experiencing his work\, Bobby has a way of weaving poetry and storytelling that lingers—the kind that settles into your bones\, invites you to pause\, and reminds you why words matter. His artistic roots go back to grade school and a couple of special East Tennessee teachers. The cultural influences of the Mountain South\, refracted by moonshine madness and Holy Ghost fire\, fueled his need to express himself\, which he has done in chart topping songs\, piles of poetry\, and in dozens of theatrical productions including shows at the Lamb’s Theater in New York City and the Ryman Auditorium. \n\nCome be still\, listen\, and let the stories unfold.\n\nThe event\, themed around water\, movement and wintering\, draws inspiration from the frozen hush of winter\, the comfort of a crackling fireside and the refreshment of a forest brook.

SUMMARY:Kellogg's Loop Trail Work on National Trails Day
DESCRIPTION:Rugby State Natural Area friends and trail volunteers\, this date June 7 marks National Trails Day. In observance\, we’ll have a work day to improve the Kellogg’s Loop Trail. \n\nTravis Bow\, our stewardship ecologist for the newly created Upper Cumberland District of State Natural Areas\, has been rerouting sections of Kellogg’s Loop in preparation for rebuilding Little Creek Bridge. There are opportunities for volunteer work in trail clearing\, invasive plant removal\, applying paint blazes to mark the trail\, and clearing the way to the bridge construction site. Hours of volunteer labor will count as in-kind matching for the Little Creek Bridge reconstruction grant. \nNO NEED to register for this. We’ll meet 9 a.m. Eastern at the Rugby Visitor Centre and carpool from there to the project site. We’ll finish by Noon to allow anyone who wishes to attend Historic Rugby’s Annual Meeting at 1 p.m. Watch for any changes (like a rain-out) on the website\, and plan to help if you can.  Travis has a trail-clearing machine\, so volunteer efforts would likely include a bit more raking and light clearing in the path of the completed machine cuts. Bring gloves & work clothes\, wear boots if possible & pack a light lunch\, water and bug spray. Tools will be provided.\n\nThe bridge grant still requires a match of at least $30\,000 in real dollars. We’ve raised at least$23\,000 to this point\, so please consider making a monetary donation to Historic Rugby designated for Bridge Replacement. That would be a great memorial tribute to Eric Wilson and Bob Hemminger\, who first showed Beacon Hill newcomers the Crack and aspired to make it more accessible via Cox Branch Trail and the old wooden bridge. \nThanks very much\,  Benita Howell\n(Photo is the old bridge after it washed downstream in 2021 flooding)
