Inter-Museum Council of Nashville
The Friends of Two Rivers is a proud member of the Inter-Museum Council of Nashville, or ICON. ICON is a professional organization committed to encouraging the development and education of Nashville-area museums and cultural institutions. Anyone directly involved with a museum or cultural institution as a staff member or volunteer is invited to become a member of ICON.
The mission of ICON is to encourage the development of professional standards by its members and the exchange of ideas; to upgrade museum practices through mutual assistance and cooperative activities; to stimulate public awareness and support of member institutions and individuals by cooperating with the efforts of related organizations with common interests; and to disseminate information concerning middle Tennessee’s cultural, historical, and scientific heritage and resources to the public.
The Battle of Nashville Trust, Inc.
The Battle of Nashville Trust, Inc. (BONT) was formed in 1992 by a group of Nashvillians who recognized that the last remnants of the Civil War battlefield were quickly disappearing, and that the Battle of Nashville was poorly understood by both Nashvillians and visitors alike.
The group’s work and tenacity ultimately led to the ownership and protection of two iconic pieces of the battlefield – Confederate Redoubt No. 1, and the summit of Shy’s Hill. Both have now been granted permanent protection from development through the Land Trust For Tennessee, and have been improved by BONT with the addition of interpretative kiosks and signage as well as reproduction field artillery pieces.
The group’s officers and directors maintain close relationships with other similar organizations in the Middle Tennessee area, working together to commemorate and explore one of the most significant events in Nashville history. In keeping with this goal, its members routinely make talks and presentations to schools, clubs, historical associations and other public gatherings. Many are authors of scholarly works which explore the Battle and the issues which surround it. Its members have studied the battlefield in detail, have amassed important collections of artifacts from the battlefield, and have participated in reenactments which help the public understand the battle.
The Friends of Two Rivers is proud to partner with BONT on engaging and educational events such as “The Sons of Erin: The Irish Experience in the 10th Tennessee” that follows the journey of Randal McGavock, Pat Griffin, and the 10th TN Davidson County Irish Brigade from formation to the final stand in a special presentation paired with live Irish music.
