Nashville Attractions

Nashville has much to excite the bed and breakfast traveler’s interest, especially if you’re a country music fan. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a state of the art venue that serves as a testament to the importance of country music to Nashville’s heart and soul. Enjoy the audio tour narrated by country musicians and listen to recordings of your favorite artists in walk-in listening booths. The Grand Ole Opry Museum uses wax figures, colorful costumes and dioramas to relate the history of the Opry. The Gibson Bluegrass Showcase invites the bed and breakfast visitor to view how banjos, mandolins and resonator guitars are made. Perhaps you’ll find inspiration and want to start making music yourself.

If you plan your bed and breakfast vacation during the months of spring, you’ll want to be sure to visit the popular outdoor venue of Nashville’s Centennial Park, as this is the season when it is comes alive. The blossoming landscape is a wonderful place for the bed and breakfast visitor to walk or jog, enjoy a picnic or a concert. In summer attend a “Shakespeare in the Park” production or a free dancing event where you can learn to salsa or swing as well as other dances. The park is also home to a replica of the Parthenon, which houses an art museum with a 42 foot re-creation of the goddess Athena.

The bed and breakfast sports enthusiast can also enjoy watching professional hockey or football while visiting. Nashville’s NHL team is the Nashville Predators and the NFL team changed their name to the Tennessee Titans after relocating from Houston in 1997. The Vanderbilt Commodores and the Tennessee State Tigers are college football teams that play their home games in Nashville.

For a taste of the past, the bed and breakfast historian can experience Nashville through its Civil War history. Fort Negley is a piece of this history when Nashville was captured in 1862 by the Union Army and used to control transportation routes. There is much to learn here and you can even search for your Civil War ancestors.
The Hermitage, declared a National Historical Landmark in 1960, was once the plantation of President Andrew Jackson. The tomb of Jackson and his wife Rachel is located in the garden. Today it is open to the public as a museum.
