Heritage Foundation Historian Rick Warwick first became interested in local chair makers back in 1971, and has since authored books and hosted dozens of exhibits and presentations on historic Williamson County and Middle Tennessee furniture – hand-made sugar chests, samplers and other local heirlooms among them. Over the last 40 years, Rick has collected more than 200 chairs, focusing on the locals who made them in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and representative examples of different chair styles from each. Now he’s offered 40 prime pieces from the collection to be auctioned in support of the Heritage Foundation’s campaign to save the Old, Old Jail on Bridge Street in downtown Franklin. This is an incredible gift from Rick, as well as an amazing auction opportunity. Read more in Franklin Home Page below, or see the auction here: historicfranklin/take-a-seat-for-the-old-old-jail
