Top Historical places in Nashville, United States

It's interesting that the place is still there, and it's clean, but the signage is not maintained. Thankfully, a few historical markers were easy to read, but other signs were badly weathered since their glass covers were missing. It's very small, but it's a quick walk from the sound and bustle of Nashville's bar/music scene. After taking a moment to absorb some history, it was only a short walk back to the music scene.

Wasn’t as historic as I first thought. Something to do with the fact it keeps burning down. Still it’s free to visit, semi informative and gets you out of a Honky Tonk for five minutes.

We love Two Rivers Mansion. We had our Wedding Reception there back in 1995. However, this time, we were there for Christmas at the Mansion, and it was a wonderful event.

We enjoyed a great tour given by a very knowledgeable guide. For my fellow visitor who asked about the tree on the north side of the building, it is a Chinese Elm.

Emily was absolutely amazing she had so much knowledge and passion about the mansion. She was able to quickly answer questions about things on the spot. I would really like to visit many more times and hopefully learn more about this historic site. They should find more people like Emily, who are so passionate about history and the mansion. I have my hopes that for years to come, they locate more of the original items that belong in the mansion. That would be a real treat to see. Would definitely recommend this to others who love learning things about history.

We got married there under the total solar eclipse in August 21 2017 at the Mansion and wanted to vist 6 year's later. Everything was fantastic once again.

Excellent tour and history of the Donelson area.
Being a 20+ year resident, I decided to finally take the tour. It was well worth it. The names and the local streets align! It's a great opportunity for kids to see how things used to be.
The original smaller house has many interesting details to learn about before entering the grandeur of Two Rivers Mansion. The passing of the house from various generational hands to its current ownership by the city is an interesting story.
The tour lasts about an hour and is definitely worth your time, especially for those who love history and old homes.

The location of this establishment on the riverfront offers scenic views, but finding parking can be a challenge. If you're solely coming to visitthe fort, I would not recommend it. Just look at the pics. Make a day of it instead and visit all else the riverfront has to offer! Additionally, while the pictures showcased a vibrant atmosphere, I noticed the presence of homeless individuals in the vicinity. It's important to be aware of this aspect. However, please note that this review is based solely on the parking situation and general observation.

I went to a private event here, and it was wonderful. From driving up and seeing the trees line the driveway to inside the house. Which is beautiful. I recommend visiting.

I attended the Heritage Fire Tour that was held here. The grounds are well kept and there was plenty of space. Enjoyed my time here.

A living history in downtown Nashville. For most part, the site is well-kept but some plaques need some attention, since the paint has faded. There were a few homeless during our visit but they minded their own business. Good to experience the quieter part of Nashville.

The Fort is interesting, wasn't too dirty in the main part, but was a little scary because it's closed off and there was a group of homeless people that have apparently moved in. Now homeless people aren't necessarily scary and I'm not trying to sound disrespectful but these people seemed to be drug addicts. Their signs advertised that they wanted weed and two were arguing with one another and shouting back and forth about drugs. I went there for a school assignment and was very disappointed.

This is a replica of a portion of the original European settlement that became Nashville. There are replica cabins, Wall, and interpretive panels on the site. All the cabins were closed the day I was there - I don't know if they are ever opened.
Some nice views of the Cumberland River - a short walk from downtown and the state capitol.
There is short term (2 hour) metered parking available just north of the site.

The historic value and fort are cool, but not nice experience. Will be much better when the buildings behind it are fully open and rehabbed. Right now it's too isolated and full of vagrants and crack heads. Actually saw a man smoking crack pipe on a bench in the park just north of the fort. Hopefully once the street is open again it will clear out the homeless and let this historic sight be appreciated.

Lovely property and interesting tour through the historical mansion! Great place to take the family or day time date. They also do events like the annual beer and wine festival and fresh local market.

This is a cool little stop off of the beaten path of Broadway. There isn't much there except for the historic log buildings. But, its really cool to have a little piece of history that survived and still being maintained in the downtown area. Its probably not something that I would go to downtown to visit, but if I am walking around it is a nice little side distraction to the hustle and bustle of the city.
