During your Nashville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Willie Nelson & Friends Showcase Museum/Gift Emporium
Less a museum than a souvenir shop with a few exhibits in a back room, this tourist site features some of Willie's guitars, gold and platinum records, and even his pool table. The museum is inside the Music Valley Gift Emporium. Allow 20-30 minutes if you're shopping for souvenirs.
Stones River National Battlefield
On New Year's Eve 1862, what would become the bloodiest Civil War battle west of the Appalachian Mountains began just north of Murfreesboro along the Stones River. Though by the end of the first day of fighting the Confederates thought they were assured a victory, Union reinforcements turned the tide against the rebels. By January 3, the Confederates were in retreat and 23,000 soldiers lay dead or injured on the battlefield. Today, 351 acres of the battlefield are preserved. The site includes a national cemetery and the Hazen Brigade Monument, which was erected in 1863 and is the oldest Civil War memorial in the United States. In the visitor center you'll find a museum full of artifacts and details of the battle.
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.
