Everywhere in Nashville has a story, from the first settlers in Nashville, to the many neighborhoods that can be traced back to generals in the Revolutionary War. We have always been curious about what foundations made Nashville the city that it is today, and can we see remnants of our past in the buildings we walk by everyday? Throughout our journey at XPLR.NASH, we’ve always been searching to see the history in the Nashville that we know and love today, and so we made a video to share some of the things that have formed the city that we all know and love.
We also cover many niche historical aspects of Nashville on our podcast Nashville Daily which you can find here:
