Fort Nashborough

Fort Nashborough is temporarily closed to the public for renovations. The great city of Nashville traces its roots to this site on the banks of the Cumberland River. In 1780, James Robertson and a group of early pioneers established a settlement here called Fort Nashborough. This reconstruction uses the same construction elements as those early forts, built to house the settlers and their families and protect them from Native American attacks. Open daily, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
