Whatever possessed Bert Driver to purchase an old farm machinery equipment building and turn it into an “event center” is definitely beyond one’s general scope of reasoning. However, when you realize that Bert is a certified horticulturist, owner/operator of the growing Driver Nursery legacy, a huge live music aficionado and promoter, a hemp grower/advocate, a CBD product creator/producer, (on & on), that vision that in reality turned into the first-class Harvester Event Center seems to fit right into the grand tapestry of Bert’s far-flung spirit.

This modern mid-century building in the heart of Smithville features great access, lots of natural light, and ample parking. With the added vintage chandeliers, modern glass roll-up doors, and valet parking available for specific events, it becomes an event destination. “The building itself is art,” says Owner, Bert Driver. “I’m convinced that quality and class are keys to creating a sustaining event venue, and I want to bring those elements to my hometown endeavors, on historic Main Street, USA, in Smithville, TN.” 

Downtown Smithville is reawakening, and the Harvester, with its strong local vibe (same as the Burlap Room) will become the backdrop for many events and memorable experiences for entire families, friends, and business associates.

“I live in the downtown Smithville area and have watched the entire neighborhood transform for over the past 20 years,” says Driver. “With this new-found energy, we can do great things with the Harvester as the centerpiece of the action — live shows, stage productions, plays, concerts — a performing arts center along with an emphasis on private functions such as weddings, class reunions and any other special occasion.” 

The Harvester also features a huge walk-in cooler and catering kitchen with the Sam Houston Black Walnut Bar and The Yella Dog Lounge … providing a fresh alternative to most other event venues. There will be custom packages for lodging, transportation and entertainment along with the amenities to host corporate events, family reunions, fundraisers, etc.”

“We have applied every resource at our disposal to create a cool, hip venue, loaded with wow factors and class at every turn,” adds Driver. “The sound and light systems are going to be the latest hi-tech equipment.” 

But why build The Harvester in Smithville, TN?

“Because we can now have this in Smithville … in fact, we need this in Smithville,” says Driver. “The entire region can benefit from this versatile facility strategically located in a downtown full of charm. If someone wants a church wedding, and then their reception at The Harvester, there are three historic churches available within walking distance (two blocks away!).” 

You’ll have everything you need here in Smithville — food , drink , lodging, Center Hill Lake, transportation, Harvester and Burlap Room event venues, amazing entertainment, and local artisans of all types. “I can’t help but crow about how good life is here,” adds Driver. “We don’t need to go anywhere else to celebrate life — we can do it right here!”

The Harvester Center is located one hour east on I-40 from Nashville International Airport.
