Since 2000, the Tennessee Preservation Trust’s Statewide Preservation Conference has brought together heritage supporters from across the state for educational sessions, tours, and networking opportunities.  This year’s theme, “Tracking the Ties that Bind,” refers to Collierville’s history as a 19th century railroad town and to the musical tracks of West Tennessee’s Blues and Rock and Roll heritage.  It builds upon the mission of the Tennessee Preservation Trust and its partner organizations, the Tennessee Historical Commission and the Tennessee Main Street Program.
