Spring break: Nashville

By Jessy Anne Walters

Spring break is just days away and a lot of students are staying in Nashville. If you’re one of those students, you might be sitting there wondering what you’re going to do stuck in Tennessee on a college budget. Worry not – there’s plenty to do.

Thirty-eight percent of our students are from out of state; why get to know the state you’re currently living in? Nashville offers a lot of history to its visitors:

• The Tennessee State Museum offers FREE admission and is located only ten minutes from Trevecca’s campus. This museum boasts art and history dating back to the nineteenth century.

• Fort Nashborough also has FREE admission and allows its visitors a close-up view of Tennessee’s history and is located downtown–just minutes away from campus.
• 
• The Downtown Presbyterian Church is open for self-guided tours of their property, which is located on 5th Street. The church has been on its property since 1814 and holds history that has helped shape Tennessee.
• Another FREE Museum to try is Cooter’s Museum and Store; this museum holds the General Lee and other artifacts from the much-loved Dukes of Hazard TV show.

Maybe history isn’t your thing and you’re looking for some fun, (cheap) exciting entertainment. Nashville has a lot going on next week:
