After much deliberation, our highly popular in person tour has been cancelled for 2020 due to the health risks surrounding the coronavirus. This year also saw the unfortunate closure of our longtime partnering costumer, Performance Studios. This year s virtual living history tour will be an informative, insightful, and thought provoking way to learn about Nashville s history. The long traditioned abilities and voices of our dedicated actors will shine through, and we are thrilled that so many donors continue to support one of our favorite parts of our mission, educating the public! Be on the lookout as details of the virtual 2020 Living History Tour will be released in late October. We appreciate your continued support for the annual tour!

A walk through the cemetery is truly a walk through Nashville's history. The gravestones tell the stories of individuals and families from the 1820s to the present day. In response to the disrepair, vandalism, and neglect over many decades, former Mayor Bill Purcell and the Metro Council approved the Mayor's Capital Budget request for a $3M project to restore the City Cemetery. The Restoration, including conserved tombstones and monuments as well as new street signs, lighting, paved walkways roadways and interpretive signage will be completed in the fall of 2009. Many exciting and noticeable improvements are in progress. You can join the Nashville City Cemetery Association in continuing to help to preserve this fragile historic site by becoming a member, attending our tours and events, volunteering, and/or making donations. We are always interested in hearing from descendants of those buried there. Nashville City Cemetery is located at 1001 Fourth Avenue South, at the corner of Fourth Avenue South and Oak Street.
