Created By: The Heritage Center of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County
Built in 2003, the park honors several inspirational Hilltop community leaders, including Annie Malone, Lucille “Honey” Miles, Kathryn Wright, and Lottie Sublett, who was the first student from Smyrna to attend Holloway High School and later worked at Meharry Medical College. In 2005, a replica of the Smyrna Rosenwald School that educated African American students here from 1927 to 1960 opened as the Rosenwald Community Center. Its outdoor exhibit highlights two of the early women principals, Nannie Glass and Maude Collier.
