NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Greenways for Nashville is hosting the first of three member events from 3-5 p.m., Sunday, June 7, at the historic Stone Hall on the Stones River Greenway in Hermitage, Tenn.

Greenways for Nashville is a not-for-profit member organization raising awareness and private support for Nashville’s greenways initiative.

Stone Hall is an example of Colonial Revival architecture and the former home of Angie Cantrell Merritt Donelson Ezell. It is located next to Ravenwood Country Club at 1014 Stones River Road in Hermitage, Tenn. It was acquired by Metro Parks and several private donors as a central park along the Stones River Greenway.
Serenatta, a Latin ensemble, will provide music and refreshments will be served in the historic Stone Hall. Serenatta features the lush rhythms of tangos from Argentina, bossa novas from Brazil, pasillos and bambucos from Colombia, joropos from Venezuela, waltzes from Peru, boleros from Mexico, and guaranias from Paraguay, among others.
The Nashville Greenways system includes more than 3,000 acres of Metro Parks land and some 11,000 acres of open space throughout Davidson County.
