Happy Holidays from Historic Rock Castle

"What matter how the night behaved? What matter how the north-wind raved? Blow high, blow low, not all its snow Could quench our hearth fire's ruddy glow." -- John Greenleaf Whittier Our community's response to last Saturday's storm and tornados have reminded us once again just how ruddy the hearth fire of friendship and selfless service can be. Within minutes of the tornado passing through our city, there were dozens of people checking on their neighbors, working in the rain to clear roads, and preparing places of respite for their storm-tossed friends. By morning, the dozens had grown to hundreds (if not thousands), and the Hendersonville and Nashville Electric Service crews were joined by an army of chainsaw wielding volunteers who made quick work of what could easily have taken months to remove. For all its destruction, the tornado brought us together for a precious moment of collective clarity, and it was in this moment that we have most readily seen the true spirit of Christmas exemplified. Your kindness, sacrifice, love, and selflessness are mightier than the fiercest storm, and we are both grateful and proud to be a part of this incredible community. Merry Christmas dear friends! #hendersonvilletn #VisitSumnerTN #HistoricRockCastle #RockCastle #HolidayOpenHouse #OldHouseLove

Rock Castle Winter House Concert featuring WesternBoy

WesternBoy is one of the most loved bands in this rapidly expanding community, and we are immensely grateful for the opportunity to feature them as part of this year's Winter House Concert Series. It is true that Lance, Dakota, and Dylan are each exceptional musicians--and that their collective sound is one-of-a-kind spectacular--but it is the generosity and conscientious kindness of this family-band that compels our appreciation the the most. Their songs are exceptional, but their character is unmatched. Have you heard them perform? If so, show them some love in the comment section below. You can learn more about WesternBoy by visiting any of these links also: -- www.westernboymusic.com -- www.youtube.com/channel/UC_gIIQALHLoFhhG4gRjwGrg WesternBoy's song "Square Dance" is featured in this video. #VisitSumnerTN #hendersonvilletn #rockcastle #hvilletn #historicrockcastle #winterhouseconcertseries #squaredance #westernboyband #houseconcert #nashvilletn #livemusic
