Welcome to FiftyForward Martin Center!accredited by the National Institute of Senior Centers
Seated on 5.6 acres, largely woods, the center’s rustic wood-and-stone beauty impresses all who walk through its doors. Since opening in December 2002, FiftyForward Martin Center has seen a significant, constant growth in membership and in community attention and use.
A number of Brentwood/Franklin area civic groups like to hold their meetings at FiftyForward Martin Center, which is also a popular site for weddings, receptions, reunions, birthdays and other special events. To learn more about the center’s numerous programs and activities, visit www.themartincentertn.org. To arrange for a tour, please call 376-0102. E-mail scoss@fiftyforward.org to receive a digital version of the most recent center newsletter, which also is available at the reception desk. In addition, the monthly schedule of classes and events is printed in Forward Focus. Copies of the newspaper are available at area public libraries, at the Publix in Maryland Farms and at Wild Oats in Cool Springs, as well.
