Public History in Nashville

From Upper School
History teacher Mary Ellen Pethel
Students from the Public History class visited the Ryman Auditorium and Hatch Show Print last week. Former College Counselor Ophelia Paine helped organize the field trips. Hatch Show Print owner Jim Sherraden talked to students about "preservation through production." Kendall Waddey, who is doing an internship Hatch, participated in presentation.

Students from the Public History class visited the Ryman Auditorium and received "hard hats" from the Ryman Auditorium staff to symbolize the restoration to the building done in the past 20 years. The Ryman has both the distinction of being an active theater AND a member of the National Historic Landmark registry.
