A portrait unveiling and reception honoring Davidson Circuit Court Judge Hamilton Gayden will take place Oct. 20 at the historic county courthouse in downtown Nashville. The event will be held on the fifth floor from 3-5 p.m. CDT. Gayden decided last year not to seek reelection in 2022. He was appointed in 1974 by then-Gov. Winfield Dunn and served 47 years on the bench. "It's been an honor and a privilege to serve the citizens of Davidson County,” Gayden said in a statement. “I will miss being on the bench but at 82 years old, it is time to hand the gavel over to a younger judge."
