The Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street, in cooperation with Humanities Tennessee, presents “Crossroads: Change in Rural America.” The exhibition examining the evolving landscape and culture of rural America opens at Rose Center on Saturday, November 2. “Crossroads” will be on view through December 7.
“Crossroads” explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. Since 1900, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60% to 17%. The exhibition looks at that remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded. Americans have relied on rural crossroads for generations and America’s small towns continue to creatively focus on new opportunities for growth and development.
Rose Center and the surrounding community has been expressly chosen by Humanities Tennessee to host “Crossroads” as part of the Museum on Main Street program – a national/state/local partnership to bring exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations. The exhibition will tour only six communities in Tennessee.
The exhibit can be enjoyed Monday-Friday from 9 AM – 5 PM and 11 AM -2 PM on Saturday. Rose Center is closed on Sunday.

Sawyer Brown’s Christmas shows are some of the band’s favorite shows of the year—mixing both Christmas music and their hits into a very special evening. The audience will be treated to songs from the band’s two Christmas CDs, Hallelujah! He is Born! and Rejoice—songs that highlight the spiritual, the sentimental, and the joyous sides of Christmas. The title track from Hallelujah! He is Born!, in fact, gets audiences on their feet every bit as much as the band’s radio hits like “Step That Step,” “Some Girls Do,” “The Race Is On,” and “The Boys and Me.” No Sawyer Brown show would be complete without those radio hits, so the band incorporates their hits often before and after the Christmas songs in the set.
A Sawyer Brown Christmas show is a perfect way to enjoy some holiday fun with a band that delivers a good time all year round. One of those rare acts who actually became stars directly from winning Star Search, country-rockers Sawyer Brown wound up enjoying a long, hit-filled career and remained commercially viable into the new millennium.

Let’s get Hip to the Holidays, as Under the Streetlamp celebrates with a joyous performance of your favorite holiday tunes plus songs from the American Radio Songbook. Oh what fun it is to dance in the aisles while merrily singing along to songs from their live PBS Specials and studio album, Hip to the Holidays, featuring “White Christmas,” “Santa Bring My Baby Back,” “Someday at Christmas,” “Ave Maria,” and many more!
Originally established in 2009 by members of the Chicago company of the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys, this fraternity of gifted performers breathes new life into your favorite Doo Wop, Motown and old time Rock n’ Roll hits. Streetlamp’s unique blend of harmonies and slick dance moves make it impossible to resist the urge to sing and dance along to songs from the heydays of AM radio.
Streetlamp has been able to keep a fresh vibe with new twists along the way, all while breathing new life into timeless songs. With irresistible charm and rapport of a modern day Rat Pack, Under the Streetlamp proves why retro never sounded so now.

The high-stepping spirited musical selections will have audiences clapping along from the first lively renditions of popular contemporary Christmas classics: “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” “Count Your Blessings,” “White Christmas,” and John Lennon’s perennial “Happy Christmas.” Christmas With The Celts presents the perfect combination of ancient Irish carols, contemporary Christmas standards, spontaneous humor and thrilling Irish dancing, giving audiences a most memorable Christmas experience.
The popularity of Christmas With The Celts rose from the concert presentation and the nationwide broadcast of the show as a PBS-TV special with its unique blend of modern Christmas standards and sounds, with the spirit and sounds of Celtic roots. The national PBS show Christmas With The Celts aired on 222 PBS channels across the U.S., Canada and on the BBC in Ireland.
Christmas With The Celts is a celebration of the holiday spirit, people, community, and common connections. It’s about bringing young and old together to celebrate this special time of year.
