To AppWho We Are

Our Mission

The mission of Travellers Rest Historic House Museum, Inc. (Travellers Rest) is preserving and interpreting the Overton home and landscape and serving as a gateway for learners of all ages to explore and experience Nashville’s historic past.

Our Story

Nashville’s oldest historic house open to the public, Travellers Rest has been an integral part of the Nashville and Middle Tennessee museum community for over fifty years. Saved from demolition in 1954 by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Tennessee, the historic house, built originally in 1799, was restored to interpret the early 19th century life of Judge John Overton, one of the state's first Supreme Court Justices, one of the founders of Memphis, and a close personal friend of Andrew Jackson. 

Over the past half-century, the site's interpretive and educational mission has evolved and expanded to include almost 1,000 years of cultural development of the mid-Cumberland Basin, from the area's prehistoric origins as a Mississippian-era settlement, to Nashville as an outpost on America's first frontier, politics during the Age of Jackson, slavery, the Civil War and the city's emergence as a leading capital of the New South. 

Today, Travellers Rest, a National Register property, is recognized as a model of preservation excellence. Visitors can tour the house, peek into historic outbuildings, stroll through the eight-acre arboretum and gardens, and see award-winning exhibitions about the Civil War and the enslaved people who worked here. Travellers Rest offers a wide variety of educational public programming using interactive and living experiences through field trips, summer camps for children, and the highly successful historic Trades Days Festival.
