The Discovery Center at Murfree Spring will host its annual museum fundraiser, Wine & Whiskey at the Wetlands, on Friday, March 15th, from 6:00 to 8:30pm. Sponsored by CED Murfreesboro and presented by Charlie Patel and Stones River Total Beverages, the event will showcase a variety of fine wines and spirits, with food available for purchase.
