Created By: The Heritage Center of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County
3400 Lebanon Pike: The VA Hospital was the major New Deal project in Rutherford County. The Public Works Administration (PWA) funded the building, allocating $674,000 for it. WPA work crews did much of the construction and landscaping of the 21 buildings, golf course, ball fields, and gardens. The center produced its own electricity using dams built by WPA. The facility is now named the Alvin C. York Veterans Administration Medical Center.
