Even if you’ve spent plenty of time in Centennial Park, you probably haven’t experienced it like this.
The Centennial Park Conservancy and Nashville Sites just launched a self-guided audio tour that turns a loop around the park into a 12-stop history lesson. Just scan the QR codes posted along the route (no app needed), connect your headphones, and wander around to hear stories tied to:
Indigenous pathways that shaped the land
The 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition
The Suffrage Monument and Great Lawn
Lake Watauga’s environmental story (yes, the bees)
Start at the Parthenon or jump in anywhere on the route. Along the way, you’ll hear longtime Parthenon director Wesley Paine, joined by voices from the Nashville Sites Cultural Ambassadors team. The full tour can also be played online.
The Buy
A top-rated floral maxi dress with a flattering V-neck and A-line fit. Get it in your favorite color, from purple to dusty olive.
If you’re looking for a market to check out this month, 100 Taylor Arts Collective — which has been closed since September — has officially reopened and will host its first art market back in the building on Saturday, March 21 from 3 to 9 p.m.
