This exciting event promises a weekend full of immersive historical experiences that will delight visitors of all ages.

“Shoot me out of a cannon!!” One event you won’t want to miss is a celebration of life ceremony that incorporates the ashes of a man being shot out of a cannon! Army Veteran John (Jack) T. Picton had a last wish: “When I die, have my ashes shot out of a cannon.” His family honored this request during the Morgan on the Rim Civil War Reenactment in Ridgetop, Tennessee, last year. Picton’s ashes were shot out of a cannon, a ceremony that was deeply moving for everyone present, and Smokey Barn News captured the moment on film. The video has been added below or [click here for the full story]. This touching tribute left a lasting impression on Civil War enthusiast Charles Raymond Morris, who passed away on April 3, 2024. Born on April 22, 1954, Morris was an avid Civil War buff and requested the same honor of having his ashes shot out of a cannon at the Morgan on the Rim Civil War Reenactment this year. So that’s exactly what his family is going to do. The ceremony will take place within the three-day event, but officials are still working out an exact time. As soon as the schedule has been set, it will be added to this event calendar. Reload this page for updates.
For a detailed schedule and more information, see below. Don’t miss out on this chance to step back in time and experience the Civil War era firsthand!

Community Medical Equipment Ministry – White House Church of Christ
White House Church of Christ located at 205 Spring St., White House, TN would like to announce our new Medical Equipment Ministry created to serve the Sumner County and Robertson County communities.
The Medical Equipment Ministry loans medical equipment Free of Charge to those in need on a short or long-term basis.
We saw a need in our community to aid caregivers and patients with medical equipment to assist in home health care and increase rehab success.
We provide equipment on a first-come, first-served basis. Some equipment and items currently available are lift chairs, wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, potty seats, shower chairs, hospital beds, and more.
We also accept cash donations or good-used equipment.
We have limited delivery services; however, for those who are unable to pick up, please call our office, and make an appointment.
It was rewarding to us, as well as the person donating, to be able to provide a hydraulic patient lift to a family with a special need’ s little girl. With this lift, grandparents will be able to help with her care; thus, freeing up time for the parents. Also, we received a call from a woman whose father was being released from rehab early with 2 broken hips and 3 broken ribs. The insurance company would only provide a wheelchair. We were able to provide her with all the equipment needed for his rehab and care.
If you need equipment, the process is simple. Please come by and fill out an information form.
