4.5 Nearest Green Distillery (49 reviews)
- When visiting Nashville put this distillery on your tour list.
Day Trips

I was totally amazed with the presentations from the tour guides on learning the history of Uncle Nearest Green aka Nathan Green who was a slave and than became a free slave. I am a wine drinker but, I was amazed to learn that Uncle Nearest is the first known African-American master distiller and helped put Jack Daniel whiskey on the map. I appreciate how Fawn Weaver brought the story of Nearest Green whiskey to the light for the world to taste and learn. It's good that the truth has found the light. See more..

4.0 Fisherman's Park Dam (18 reviews)
- A very popular spot to cool off
Dams

Fisherman's Park Dam was very crowded on the day that we visited. Lots of families were at the "beach" area swimming or taking a dip, despite the warning about the swiftness of the water. Others were sitting on top of the damn suntanning and relaxing. What a picturesque location. I can see why it's such a popular place in the summer. See more..
