For us? You shouldn’t have.
We think living in Nashville is the greatest gift of all, but our city has actually been on the receiving end of quite a few delightful donations. From Nashville’s first park to public art collections and more, check out these four gifts given to the city.
Watkins Park | Nashville’s first public park opened to locals in 1901, thirty years after being donated to the city by brickmaker Samuel Watkins. Fun fact: Some park features like walkways were also built with donated materials, and this park was also home to the city’s first public playground.
Country music artifacts donated by music icon Marty Stuart | In the fall of 2024, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum received a historic donation from Stuart. In total, the collection spans ~22,000 items, including showstoppers like clothing, instruments, and personal items.
A. Annual membership to the Country Music Hall of Fame B. A bottle of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey C. A pair of cowboy boots D. A jar of Nashville hot chicken seasoning
Last-minute gift hack: Go digital with a three, six, or 12-month Audible membership so they can listen to all their favorite genres + authors.*
