During your Nashville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Nashville Toy Museum
Railroad buffs, toy-train enthusiasts, and children of all ages will enjoy the huge collection of antique toys. The emphasis is on toy trains, and there are two large model train layouts that can keep kids and adults fascinated for hours. Among the several large collections in the museum are shelves full of old toy trains, antique model cars, miniature boats and ships, dolls, and teddy bears.
Tennessee Walking Horse Museum
The Tennessee walking horse, named for its unusual high-stepping walking gait, is considered the world's premier breed of show horse, and it is here in the rolling hills of middle Tennessee that most of these horses are bred. Using interactive videos, hands-on exhibits, and other displays, this museum presents the history of the Tennessee walking horse. Though the exhibits here will appeal primarily to equine enthusiasts, there is also much for the casual visitor to learn and enjoy. The annual Tennessee Walking-Horse National Celebration, held each August here in Shelbyville, is one of middle Tennessee's most important annual events. Tennessee walkers can also be seen going through their paces at various other annual shows in the Nashville area.
Carter House
Built in 1830, the Carter House served as the Union army command post during the Battle of Franklin. Throughout the bloody fight, which raged all around the house, the Carter family and friends hid in the cellar. Today, you can still see many bullet holes in the main house and various outbuildings on the property. In addition to getting a tour of the restored home, you can spend time in the museum, which contains many Civil War artifacts. A video presentation about the battle that took place here will provide you with a perspective for touring the town of Franklin.
