Where to celebrate Tennessee Statehood Day in Nashville

Tennessee, you don’t look a day over 228. On June 1, 1796, Tennessee officially became a state. At the time, ~77,000 people lived here. For perspective, 24,246 people moved to the Nashville MSA last year alone.

Tennessee was the country’s 16th state and the first created from territory that was under federal jurisdiction — so you could say we’re a pretty big deal. That means we also have to celebrate in a big way with free, family-friendly happenings:

Tennessee State Library & Archives

Festivities run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and include new exhibits, face painting, behind-the-scenes tours, a scavenger hunt, gem mining, and more. Bonus: See original copies of the Cumberland Compact, the Constitution of the Cherokee Nation, and King George III’s Proclamation of 1763.
Tours, cupcakes, storytime + more

Whether you’re running around to all of the events in today’s newsletter, or you’ve mapped out your next trail using our hiking guide, you’ll need some reliable footwear. I was doing a little weekend shopping and noticed Nordstrom Rack had a bunch of the sneakers I wear at a pretty nice discount — so I wanted to share with you all, of course. These are my personal favorites.
