Address: 188 County Services Dr, Ashland City, TN 37015, USA

“Happened to be open when I went to vote next door. Offices for the association, archives in the back, plus a local history museum with a hodgepodge of various county history pieces and some earnest informational cards. A nice wall of Cheatham County veteran portraits going back to the Civil War. The museum attendant was very friendly and informative.”

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage

Address: 4580 Rachels Ln, Hermitage, TN 37076, USA

Museum

“The Mansion Tour was nice. They showed a short 25-minute movie about this place and the people who had lived there. The mansion was air-conditioned, which was good because of the extremely hot summer weather that week. The four tour guides were nice and friendly and they gave our tour a lot of interesting knowledge about Andrew Jackson and his life before and after his presidency. They even politely answered our questions. And we asked them a few. It was my first time visiting here. I bought some nice souvenirs. Those ladies who worked in the gift shop were nice, friendly, and helpful. We got a ride from an older gentleman in a golf cart from the Mansion back to the Museum and gift shop. He told my husband that he could drive for him. I thought he was teasing; but he was serious. My husband talked to him and we thanked him profusely for the ride. We were tired of walking, and it was so hot out that we really appreciated that ride. The other people, like us, were hot and tired, and I'm sure they also appreciated that ride as well. I would take our children and grandchildren back here to learn some of our nation's history.”

Edge Motor Museum

Address: 645 Marshall Ave, Memphis, TN 38103, USA

“Such a cool place. Bob and the other gentleman at the museum walked our family through and gave us a lot of information and shared some really neat memories and experiences. Beautiful cars! The kids and adults both had a good time.”

Cragfont State Historic Site

Address: 200 Cragfont Rd, Castalian Springs, TN 37031, USA

Kang Rhee Institute

Address: 3238 Players Club Cir, Memphis, TN 38125, USA

Museum

“I used to teach under Master Rhee long ago, hope he is still practicing.”

Fort Pillow State Historic Park

Address: 3122 Park Rd, Henning, TN 38041, USA

Museum Park

“We really enjoyed our camping trip here. The park was quiet and the campsites were beautiful. Watch out for the bandit raccoons at the campsites. They will rob you right in front of your eyes! The bathrooms are clean, though I did find the setup a little odd. There is only one toilet and shower in the bathroom and they are in a shared room, meaning only one camper can be in there at a time. There were portable toilets outside the bathhouse, which is supposed to be a fix for this problem I’d assume. There is NO ice on the premises so be prepared to make a trip to the store to replenish your ice if it’s really hot. It was about 100 degrees when we were there and we had to leave the park to buy ice. It’d be nice if there were some available on site to purchase. They have your back for firewood though. The bundles even come with little starters and it’s $5 a bundle. Just wave one of the staff members down while they’re driving by. The lake/pond is a nice little area of the park. We took our kayaks out for a spin and enjoyed watching the wildlife. I will say that we attempted to hike the Chickasaw Bluff Trail, but near the end it was overgrown with kudzu so we never got the reward of the view and did all that work for nothing. :-( Jordan, the seasonal interpreter, was lovely to chat with. We went on one of her guided hikes and you can tell she really loves both learning and teaching. She shared lots of knowledge on our way to the fort. All in all, we will definitely return. We loved camping here.”

Historic Rock Castle

Address: 139 Rockcastle Ln, Hendersonville, TN 37075, USA

Museum

“I attended with my daughter's field trip which only cost me $5 to park with no admission fee. There are items you can buy there with cash or venmo. Lots of interesting sights and to see the way things are made at each tent or station. Super informative trip.”

Sam Davis Home

Address: 1399 Sam Davis Rd, Smyrna, TN 37167, USA

Address: 9336 Davies Plantation Rd, Bartlett, TN 38133, USA

Museum

“Incredibly nice, full of history. The house and contents are so nice, our tour guide was so sweet and informative,we weren't rushed and spent a lot of time on the grounds, highly recommended”

Nathan Bedford Forrest Boyhood Home

Address: 4435 Pyles Rd, Chapel Hill, TN 37034, USA

Museum

“If you are history buff, especially of the Civil war, stop off and tour the boyhood home of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Don’t follow the GPS. It will not take you to the correct entrance. Turn at the historical marker on Pyles Rd. The gates were closed on our first attempted visit but it was the lunch hour so I guess they were closed. So glad we returned the next day at 1pm. The tour guide was knowledgeable with details. There were many artifacts from the 1800’s. The cedar smell in the log cabin remains which amazed me. Take a few minutes to relax in the rockers on the front porch. The rocking, gentle breeze, and the view will take you back to the 1800’s.”

Dixon Gallery & Gardens

Address: 4339 Park Ave, Memphis, TN 38117, USA

Art gallery Museum Park

“I visited from out of town and thoroughly enjoyed the day there, The Dixson is very nice art gallery and the grounds are so beautiful! I saw a really great exhibit on Women's Sporting Fashion from 1800 - 1960. It was a unique and very well curated exhibit. There was also a local designer, professor with her formal dress designs on display, too. The impressionist, permanent collection, which was very nice, is mostly housed in an original old Memphis home. They also have a nice collection of Meissen China, a children's workshop area, a comfy bistro, and if course the beautiful grounds and cutting garden. Unbelievably, this is all free. They also have beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces for weddings and other events. I highly recommend it.”

Rippa Villa

Address: 5700 Main St, Spring Hill, TN 37174, USA

Museum

“Very interesting, well worth a visit. The guide Kristi had so much knowledge and interest in the the house and battle of Franklin that is was contagious. I went to find out about the house and left wanting to read more about the civil war and various battles. The house is huge and stunning. The rooms are being renovated and I cannot wait to go back one day to see it finished.”

Frist Art Museum

Address: 919 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203, USA

Museum Store

“Very nice museum. I’m glad I visited on my last day. It was a pleasure and even peaceful to calmly view all that was displayed and read/learn about the displays. It’s not big but I’d give myself some time if I were you so that you can read and understand the history behind the exhibits….allowing them to come to life! Reasonably priced. Even the gift shop is nice. I recommend! I read that the exhibits change thus I shared some pics! Enjoy!”

Alex Haley Museum and Interpretive Center

Address: 200 Church St, Henning, TN 38041, USA

Museum

“Learned a lot about Haley’s early formative years and what led to the writing of the book Roots. Great tour! The house has many family photos and is period correct with items that the Parker family would have used. The house sits in the neighborhood where towns people drive and there are different informational markers around the house. His parents first courted here and eventually married. It is also the burial site for Alex. The entrance and interpretive center is behind the house.”

Port Royal State Park Trail of Tears trailhead

Address: Clarksville, TN 37043, USA

Museum

“Did the lantern tour our 2nd year! Great time again! Thank you Ranger Justin from eastern TN for helping out! But remember when my wife tells you it starts the other way,she"s right. LOL!!!”

McLemore House

Address: 446 11th Ave N, Franklin, TN 37064, USA

Museum

“The McLemore house is a true gem in the city of Franklin. We often hear of slavery but the narrative of how formerly enslaved people created homes and lives after enslavement are rarely discussed. This tour will give you a new perspective on history you may not be aware of. This house was home to four generations until it became an historic sight. Include this historic home on your next visit to Franklin. You will be glad you did.”

Elvis Presley’s Memphis

Address: 3797 Elvis Presley Blvd, Memphis, TN 38116, USA

Museum

“Listen just go whether you're a fan or not Graceland is such a cool experience. Definitely pay for the full package and see everything planes included. You'll need 2-3 hrs to do everything properly so you can pace yourself and soak everything in. The mansion is dated but cool. The meditation garden is surreal and relaxing. The new complex is simply amazing with all of Elvis's cars and memorabilia spanning his entire career on display. Thank goodness the family preserved all of this stuff I mean what an amazing collection it's unbelievable. Go. Enjoy. Absorb. Appreciate the history there's nothing else like it.”
