Nashville has earned it’s title of “Music City” and no where is that more evident than downtown on Broadway and 2nd Avenue.\u00a0 You can’t walk more than a few feet without running into another live music venue or honkey tonk,\u00a0 Of course mostly you’ll find country music, but Nashville is increasingly offering more rock, pop, and jazz options if that’s not your thing.\u00a0 I should mention that while listening is free, most bars are probably going to want you to buy a drink \ud83d\ude09 .<\/p>\n
~<\/p>\n 2- Take In Some Civil War History-<\/strong><\/p>\n Head to Franklin, about 20 minutes south of Nashville, (where I’m actually from) and you’ll find many hold overs from the Battle of Franklin.\u00a0 There are many homes and churches there that were used as hospitals during the war that are open for tours during the day.\u00a0 One of my favorite spots growing up was the Confederate Cemetery at Carnton Plantation<\/a> (I was kind of a weird kid).\u00a0 While they do charge for tours of the home, the cemetery is free to visit.\u00a0 After witnessing the horrors of battle, the McGavock family buried the 1500 some odd dead from the battle in their private cemetery at their home.\u00a0 The cemetery itself is beautiful and has a great view of the plantation home.<\/p>\n![\"Downtown](\"https:\/\/magsonthemove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/10970371685_0194391c51_o-510x340.jpg\")
