History

19 years ago the grandsons of one of our residents, Marv and Art Green, came to us and wanted to
do something to honor their Grandmother, Anna Green, and to thank and support Friendship House. This is how Nashville Nights began, on the cul du sac of Friendship Lane with about 150 in attendance to a sold out concert of over 700 currently at the Solvang Festival Theater. We thank the entire Green Family for their support and for sharing their darling Anna who lived at Friendship House.
