Beloved by Nashvillians and tourists alike, this 1853 Greek revival mansion was once the centerpiece of a 5,400-acre, 19th century thoroughbred farm and nursery.

Former Headquarters for the Confederate Army |
1140 Columbia Avenue Nashville, TN 37064 United States +1 615 791 1861 http://www.carter-house.org/ |
The Carter House stood as a command post for the Confederate army during the Battle of Frankin in 1864. Today, it stands as a reminder of America's Civil War. The red-brick structure, as well as other buildings on the grounds, still shows evidence of a bitter assault. Built in 1830, the fully restored home offers a look into life in the war-torn South. Inside you will find period antiques and architecture. There is also a museum, gift shop and visitor center. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Wander the haunted woods |
769 West Main Street Two miles north of Rivergate Mall on Gallatin Road Nashville, TN 37075 United States +1 615 822 5106 http://www.deathvalleyhauntedw... |
Not for the faint of heart. You may think you've taken a walk in the woods before, but were you ever chased through them by a mad man brandishing a chainsaw? Ever gazed into the glowing red eyes of a shadowy figure creeping around the trees? And what about that body over there? Is it really dead, or did it move? Have a frightfully good time and support a good cause. Bring a canned food item to help support the local food bank and get a dollar off the $10 admission. Review © 2007, Wcities |

When you are looking for a little more than your average tour of the Music City, climb aboard the funniest bus in town. The Jugg Sisters are your hostesses and they will have you laughing and singing all afternoon. As you visit all the major attractions in the city, you will hear the satirical and very risqué commentary of the sisters while riding in comfort on their tacky pink bus. It's not a very sophisticated ride, as alcohol is allowed to be consumed on the bus, so you might be best to leave the kids at home. If you don't mind the overall "hillbilly" theme, you're sure to have a grand time. Review © 2007, Wcities |
