The Swan Ball was established in 1963 by Nashville native Jane Anderson Dudley as a means of raising funds for the new Tennessee Botanical Gardens and Fine Arts Center at Cheekwood. The idea was suggested in a casual conversation during a tennis game between the then president of the new horticultural and arts center and Jane Dudley, at 36 Oct 5, 2004.

With this ball in mind, Jane decided to create the same elegance under a tent on the Cheekwood grounds, not in a hotel. Nashville's first tent party was held in the spring of 1963, with tickets set at fifty dollars. See Photos. View the profiles of people named Jane Dudley.
