We're still looking for passionate community members to join our all-volunteer Board of Directors!

The Buchanan Log House is a unique and treasured part of Donelson and Nashville's history, and we're looking for people who want to help preserve it for future generations.

As an all-volunteer board, every member plays an important role in guiding the organization. Our board members donate their time, talents, and ideas to help steward this historic site and ensure it remains a vibrant part of our community.

As a chapter of the APTA, we receive valuable support, but we also rely on our members, event rentals, community events, and generous donors to keep the house operating and thriving.

Whether you have experience in fundraising, marketing, event planning, historic preservation, finance, or simply a passion for local history, we'd love to hear from you. Serving on our board is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact in our community while working alongside others who share a commitment to preserving our local heritage.

Interested or know someone who might be? Send us a message to learn more!
