Every March, we celebrate Women's History Month by honoring the legacy of Mrs. Susan Wiley Walker, who designed and built her 26-room home, Morningside, in 1932. Mrs. Walker was a visionary naturalist, gardener, and designer who left a lasting impact on our community. Her passion for nature is still evident in the grounds and gardens of RT Lodge today. Mrs. Walker's contributions to Maryville College and the Maryville community reflect her deep commitment to nurturing hospitality - a spirit that remains alive at the Lodge to this day.

Happy Women’s History Month!
