More than a venue!
Rocketown has three stages, a cafe, a recording studio, photography, art & dance studios & an indoor skatepark. …whew!
Something is going on every day/night with after school programs and summer camps for youth they keep busy and need volunteers and interns to run special programs and set up and tear down for the various shows in their huge downtown space.

Tennessee State Museum

Posted on by Nashville by Nicole

This free museum is for the people and is full of Tennessee History and currently hosting some treasures from the National Archive.


“The Discovering the Civil War exhibit, which will continue well beyond the Emancipation Proclamation’s viewing, is the culmination of 150 years of analysis, interpretation, and opinion on the Civil War through lesser-known stories and perspectives. Many items on display never have been publicly exhibited. Highlights include the original copy of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery along with South Carolina’s 1860 declaration of secession.”
