Memorials, Recognition - Bachman-McCoy Farm, National Register of Historic Places -

SJR 32 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the Bachman-McCoy Farm for its recent inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. It recognizes the farm's historical significance, the family's contributions to Tennessee politics and conservation (including Nathan Bachman's role in creating the Tennessee Valley Authority and Social Security Act), and their donation of the property to the Walden community for public use as an arboretum. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds - it simply expresses the state's appreciation for the farm's preservation and the family's legacy. This recognition directly affects the Walden community, which now manages the 38-acre property as a public space for education and recreation.
