8. Nashville City Cemetery

DOWNTOWN.   A veritable history lesson in stone, this public cemetery dates from 1822. Located near Civil War-era Fort Negley, the cemetery is the final resting place of many of Nashville's earliest settlers, including founder James Robertson. Over the course of its nearly 200 years of existence, the graveyard has truly played the part of the "city's cemetery" by accommodating folks from all walks of life, including slaves and Confederate officers.   (© 10Best)
