During your Nashville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Jack Daniel's Distillery
Old Jack Daniel (or Mr. Jack, as he was known hereabouts) didn't waste any time setting up his whiskey distillery after the Civil War came to an end. Founded in 1866, this is the oldest registered distillery in the United States and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It's still an active distillery; you can tour the facility and see how Jack Daniel's whiskey is made and learn how it gets such a distinctive earthy flavor. There are two secrets to the manufacture of Mr. Jack's famous sour-mash whiskey. The first of these is the water that comes gushing -- pure, cold, and iron-free -- from Cave Spring. The other is the sugar maple that's used to make the charcoal. In fact, it is this charcoal, through which the whiskey slowly drips, that gives Jack Daniel's its renowned smoothness.After touring the distillery, you can glance in at the office used by Mr. Jack and see the safe that did him in. Old Mr. Jack kicked that safe one day in a fit of anger and wound up getting gangrene for his troubles. One can only hope that regular doses of Tennessee sippin' whiskey helped ease the pain of his last days. If you want to take home a bottle of Jack Daniel's, they can be purchased here at the distillery, but nowhere else in this county, which is another of Tennessee's dry counties. (No tastings at the end of the tour I'm afraid.)
The Tennessee State Museum
To gain an understanding of Tennessee history, stop by this modern museum in the basement of the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. The museum houses a large display of Native American artifacts from the Mississippian period. The first whites to visit this region were long hunters (named for their long hunting trips west of the Appalachian Mountains) who arrived in the 18th century. The most famous long hunter was Daniel Boone; you'll see a rifle that once belonged to him on display here. There is also a powder horn that once belonged to Davy Crockett. Other displays focus on presidents Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk, as well as Sam Houston, another Tennessean who went on to fame elsewhere.At press time, much of the museum's permanent collection was closed to the public due to the recent renovation of the convention center. Nonetheless, visitors may still view pre-Civil War artifacts including full-scale replicas of old buildings and period rooms, a log cabin, a water-driven mill, a woodworking shop, an 18th-century print shop, and an 1855 parlor. The lower level of the museum is devoted mostly to the Civil War and Reconstruction. (Visitors are advised to call ahead to see what is currently on display.) One block west on Union Street, you'll find the museum's Military Branch, which houses displays on Tennessee's military activity from the Spanish-American War through World War II. Allow 2 to 3 hours.
Tennessee State Capitol
The Tennessee State Capitol, completed in 1859, is a classically proportioned Greek Revival building that sits on a hill on the north side of downtown Nashville. The capitol is constructed of local Tennessee limestone and marble that slaves and convict laborers quarried and cut. Other notable features include the 19th-century style and furnishings of several rooms in the building, a handful of ceiling frescoes, and many ornate details. President and Mrs. James K. Polk are both buried on the capitol's east lawn. You can pick up a guide to the capitol at the Tennessee State Museum. It won't take long to admire it from the outside.
Days Inn-Vanderrbilt/Music Row
Though this motel dates back to the 1960s, the rooms have been refurbished since then. Local calls are free, making it a good choice if you're on a budget. A free shuttle to the nearby medical center offers another perk for guests who need it. In addition, Music Row and Vanderbilt University are both within walking distance.
Opryland Hotel
What Graceland is to Memphis, Opryland is to Nashville. In other words, whether you're an Elvis fan or not, you owe it to yourself to visit the mansion at least once. Ditto for Opryland. Whether you're into country music or not, a tour of this palatial property with its 85-foot water fountains, tropical foliage, and winding "rivers," has become almost obligatory. The Opryland has the look and feel of a massive theme park and it does attract thousands of visitors daily (on top of the numbers who are actually staying at this massive hotel). The most impressive of the hotel's numerous areas is the Cascade Conservatory, which consists of two linked atriums. Waterfalls splash across rocky outcroppings, and fountains dance with colored lights and lasers. Bridges and meandering paths and a revolving gazebo bar add a certain quaint charm. Elsewhere at Opryland, the Magnolia lobby resembles an elegant antebellum mansion, with its classically proportioned double staircase worthy of Tara itself. Escalators were recently added in the Delta area (one of the three atriums) of the hotel.Guest rooms, while modern and comfortable, don't quite live up to the promise of the public areas. Though colonial American decor and tasteful floral wallpaper give them a touch of class, they are still of average size and not overly plush. Wingback chairs, however, provide an extra measure of comfort. The more expensive rooms are those overlooking the three atriums. While offering a nice view, these rooms are not quiet when musical events are occurring in the lobby below. Food and shops are dotted throughout the Opryland Hotel. From coffee and beignets on the go to a full, sit-down seafood feast, there's something here for all tastes and budgets.
Nashville Airport Marriot
This is one of Nashville's most resort-like hotels, featuring lots of recreational facilities, not the least of which is an indoor/outdoor pool that is being renovated for 2004. If you want to stay in shape while you're away from home, this is an excellent choice. The hotel grounds cover 17 landscaped and wooded acres, though the proximity to the highway keeps the grounds rather noisy. Traffic sounds are not a problem if you book an upper-level floor. All the guest rooms feature elegant, classically styled furnishings and come with irons and ironing boards, as well as hair dryers. For business travelers, there are large work desks and a concierge level. Families will do well to ask for a lower-level poolside room; for extra space, try one of the corner rooms, which are 30% larger than standard rooms. The casual restaurant serves a wide range of pasta, poultry dishes and generous salads, and has a pleasant view of the woods outside. A quiet lounge sometimes has live music.
