Heritage Foundation’s Next Gen membership group and Leiper’s Fork Distillery host tournament
FRANKLIN, TN – The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County’s 2nd Annual Cornhole Tournament, produced by Next Gen Heritage Foundation and Leiper’s Fork Distillery will be held on May 18, 2019 at the distillery.
Sponsored by Frost Brown Todd Attorneys, the cornhole tournament serves as a family-friendly community event and an opportunity for the Heritage Foundation’s Next Gen members to network with other community members, ages 21-40.

In addition to the tournament, there will be live music, a kid’s area, food trucks, tours of Leiper’s Fork Distillery and whiskey tastings. True to the Heritage Foundation’s mission, guests who go on the tour will learn about the historic cabin on the distillery property, built by James Daniel from Yellow Creek (VanLeer) in Tennessee circa 1820-1825, which currently houses the distillery gift shop, tasting room and offices.
