More Information

A wise man once said that a people without the knowledge of their history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. Well, the city of Murfreesboro took those words to heart and created a special place to preserve its roots. It's called Cannonsburgh. Outro: Fun fact... Cannonsburgh was Murfreesboro's original name, but it only lasted one month.
