Friends of Two Rivers Welcome to The Friends of Two Rivers! Our mission is to protect, preserve, restore, and promote the use of Two Rivers Mansion and Stone Hall.

The mission of Friends of Two Rivers is to restore, preserve, and protect Two Rivers Mansion, the 1802 House, and Stone Hall, while promoting their use as historic and cultural treasures that enrich, educate, and connect the community. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Two Rivers Mansion site lies nestled between the Stones and Cumberland Rivers. This beautiful 1859 antebellum mansion and the adjacent 1802 Federal style brick home was once the centerpiece of Donelson, Tennessee. Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Stone Hall has architectural significance as an example of Colonial Revival style architecture. Built in 1918, it remains an important example of architect George D. Waller’s designs and also for its integrity of setting, historic landscape features and association with twentieth century families important in Nashville history. It was built for the Cantrell family and was acquired by Metro Parks in 2007 from a Merritt family descendent of the Cantrell's.

We join neighbors and communities from all over where Phil Ponder’s impact and influence were felt in mourning his passing. Our hearts are with his family who all share his spirit of kindness and service to community.

We are honored that Two Rivers and Stone Hall are a part of his incredible artistic legacy. Our inaugural “Phil the House with Art & Friends” free community open house and art exhibit featured the works of Phil Ponder and our founder, Phil Claiborne.

There have been numerous wonderful news stories of late celebrating his incredible legacy and many talents. The Friends of Two Rivers was honored that he joined our Advisory Committee last year and as he always did with each organization he was involved with, he provided wonderful guidance and fresh ideas that we will carry forward. His love of historic and cultural preservation was one of many gifts he shared and the positive impact his advocacy made will be felt for generations to come.
