Fort Nashborough

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.

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.

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.
