History is a part of Nashville just as much as the music, food, sports, art, and other amazing experiences. Nashville was founded in 1780 near the banks of the Cumberland River by James Robertson and Colonel John Donelsonwith Fort Nashboro. Over the next year's Nashville would eventually become a state in 1796. By 1843, the city would become the State Capitol. The state capitol building would be completed in 1859. Nashville offers plenty of history, and there are many great places to check out the history of this incredible city, including near Brentwood.
One day, while waiting for a ride, I came across a historical stop just off of Mallory Lane near Brentwood. The Cool Springs House offers a history to the area of Brentwood and Cool Springs. The house was originally built in the 1830s after the Carother's family purchased the land with Revolutionary War grants. The house would change hands of ownership over time, and the land would be used for farming in the now Cool Springs area. The house would be moved from the former location to its present location in Crockett Park. Today, the property and house are open to the public and offer a great walking tour of the grounds. Additionally, the house acts as an event venue to help maintain the house and grounds. Over 100 events are held at this historical venue.
There are plenty of great dining options nearby, which some have been recommended to me by post-it notes. These stops include the House of India, Cafe India, Connors Steak and Seafood, Peter's Sushi, Tony's, Cajun Steamer, Mere Bulles, 55 South, and many more. Activities include Cool Springs Galleria, Brentwood Skate Center, Downtown Franklin, and plenty of shopping in Brentwood. There are plenty of hotels near the house in both Cool Springs and Brentwood.
The Cool Springs House is a part of Nashville's history. There are plenty of great experiences nearby. Definitely add a stop to the Cool Springs House when you are looking for history in Nashville, TN. #ridingwithkurt
