Description

A commanding presence atop a hill in downtown Nashville, this is an outstanding example of Greek Revival architecture. Built in the mid 1800's by noted architect William Strickland, this is a must-see for history buffs.

Several areas, including library and government chambers, have been restored to their 19th century appearance. For a spectacular view of the city, be sure to stand outside the building during the early evening hours.

On weekdays, the staff offers guided tours generally on the hour, except at noon. Groups need to telephone ahead and make reservations. Admission: Free
