Known forCivil War fortNashville historyfree attractionwalking tour
Free historic Civil War fort with a visitor center, walking paths, and audio tour narrated by a descendant of an African American soldier. You'll learn Nashville history, enjoy peaceful grounds, and get great views of the downtown skyline—but note that much of the upper fort is closed off and some informational placards are sun-bleached and hard to read.
