At least one Saturday night a month, you and your honey can put on your bolo tie and your flared skirt to properly do-si-do around one of Nashville’s most charming new event spaces. Actually, The Old School is more than an event space: it’s a renovated 1936 school house on nine acres of sustainably farmed land that employs adults with developmental disabilities. The Farm Bar, their newly opened café, provides an authentic farm-to-table experience.

Situated on 50 acres of land steeped in local history, the ca. 1819 Homestead Manor property is A. Marshall Family Food Inc.’s latest multi-layer hospitality concept, offering a wealth of dining, entertainment and educational opportunities to the community. To begin with, the Tuscan-inspired restaurant draws parallels between the Italian and Southern cultures.
