A long, open green space stretching downhill from the Tennessee State Capitol that doubles as a history museum and gathering spot. Walk the grounds to read about Tennessee history, listen to the carillon bells ring at the top of the hour, grab food from the adjacent Farmers Market, and enjoy views of the Capitol and Nashville skyline. It draws massive crowds for New Year's Eve celebrations, so expect congestion if visiting then.
