Welcome to FiftyForward Knowles!

FiftyForward Knowles was the first FiftyForward center established in 1956. From that single entity, the agency now operates seven centers in Middle Tennessee.

In 2002-03 through a special property arrangement with Metro Nashville and the Tennessee State Fair board, FiftyForward constructed and moved into our beautiful new building on the Fairgrounds: the Patricia Hart Building. With administrative and program headquarters occupying the second floor, FiftyForward Knowles uses the ground floor space for classes, activities, and events and is a proud member of the popular Wedgewood Houston community.
