Popular downtown annual event “An Evening on Main Street” hosted by Main Street: Murfreesboro/Rutherford County, Inc. is set for Tuesday, September 17 at the home of Roger and Kimberly Hopkins at 702 East Main Street.  

 

Main Street’s Board of Directors will treat attendees to a variety of delicious hors d’oeuvres prepared by Maple Street Grill and wine compliments of Stones River Total Beverages.  Reservations are suggested, but not required.  Donations will be accepted at the door.  All donations to Main Street are tax-deductible.  

 

The event location is an elegant home on East Main Street built circa 1908-1910 by grocery chain owner Charlie Ragland.  The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the East Main Historic District.  Current owners have lovingly restored the 5,000 square foot home in keeping with the Colonial Revival period.  The Hopkins also completed several outdoor additions to make the property truly extraordinary inside and out.  Kimberly Hopkins said “they are delighted to share their home with Main Street supporters for this special evening.”  

 

The Main Street Program is affiliated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s National Main Street Center and follows the tenets of that program. Main Street capitalizes on the unique character of the courthouse square and the surrounding business district with the goal of transforming it into the cultural, social, professional and retail center of Rutherford County ... in essence, the hub of community life.
