7. Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage
Just a few miles east of Nashville is Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, the plantation home of the seventh US President from 1804-1845. The current home was built in 1819, not long after Jackson was elected president, and is well worth the couple of hours needed to explore it.
8. The Parthenon, Nashville
No visit to Nashville would be complete without visiting the huge Parthenon. One of Tennessee’s most remarkable attractions, it can be found in Centennial Park, just a short walk from the city’s downtown core. This impressive life-size replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece was built to commemorate the state’s centenary in 1897.
