About this event
On behalf of Kimi Brown, Friends of Mocha Nolo and Mason Health Collaborative, LLC, we invite you to support our upcoming Juneteenth Community Gathering at Historic Sunset Park in Nolensville. This event is designed to bring together legacy families and newer members of the community through fellowship, food, music, and shared experiences.
Event Overview
This gathering is centered on connection, celebration, and honoring the rich history of Historic Sunset Park. During segregation, the park served as a vibrant gathering space where families came together for picnics, baseball games, recreation, and fellowship. It was home to entrepreneurs like Jim and Ben Chrismon and welcomed notable figures such as Theodore “Ted” Rhodes, the nation’s first Black professional golfer, who practiced on its three-hole course. The park also helped shape athletes like Woodrow Williams, who went on to play professionally.
While the park has not been actively used for decades, its significance remains. This event reintroduces that legacy, bringing people together once again across generations and backgrounds to celebrate freedom, community, and shared history.
