In 1779, Nashville was originally founded, though it did not officially become a part of the state of Tennessee until 1806. Today, it has joined with the surrounding Davidson-county to form one thriving governed city. With warm summers and cooler winter periods, this is a great climate for visitors who don't want to deal with scorching heat or extreme cold.

Nashville is most famous as the home of country music. This is where tourists from all over flock to hear some of the greatest country music singers belt it out at the infamous Grand Ole Opry House. These tourists enjoy a multitude of tourist attractions related to the many country music singers who were discovered and launched from the city, such as the Nashville Music Hall of Fame and its accompanying museum.

The city is also rich with historical remembrance with features such as the General Jackson Showboat, which transports visitors for leisurely cruises along the Cumberland River in reminisce of the original riverboats which used to paddle across those same waters.

The plantations of Nashville-Davidson also get considerable amounts of visitors each year. They allow for sad reminiscing of darker days of the country when slavery was a part of the southern way of life.

Whether it's remembering the old country greats or revisiting Southern American history, there is a lot to make you think in the current atmosphere of Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee.
