Volunteer State Community College

No Marker Number

Text: “With the opening of Volunteer State Community College in September 1971, Gallatin’s dream of a strong institution of higher education was realized. Acting on the recommendation of Education Commissioner J. H. Warf and Governor Buford Ellington, the Tennessee General Assembly authorized the creation of the college in Gallatin, Tennessee. Its founding President was Dr. Hal Reed Ramer.”

Erected 2002

Notes: Marker is fairly easy to get to; use caution, as marker is in the median of an active road. Located near the termination of the college's entrance road at Nashville Pike (Hwy 31E) and Greensboro Drive. Also, make arrangements for a temporary parking pass. Volunteer State CC parking lots are permit-only if the visitor parking is full.
