Fort Negley 360

Fort Negley Exposed 

 

Revised: 29 DEC 2016

1100 Fort Negley Blvd, Nashville, TN 37203

Hidden for decades

At least 50 years of undergrowth has obscured this Nashville treasure.  This 8 acre city park has been draped in a thicket that hid her from view, and invited a massive influx of homeless camps. Thanks to Mayor Megan Barry’s office, this national landmark has new perspectives from all directions. It can now actually be seen from I-65, which appears to have already increased attendance at the Visitor Center.

This American Civil War Fort in Nashville, Tennessee was restored in 2004 with walkways and interpretive signage. Fort Negley Park provides a great view of downtown Nashville and has an impressive visitor center (Tue-Sat). It’s only about 5 minutes from the city center.

This 360º panoramic tour includes the fort’s grounds and visitor center, Fort Casino (Rose Park), General Thomas Command Post (Love Circle), General Woods HQ at the Belmont Mansion and Wood’s outerworks (21st Avenue at Saint Bernard Park). It includes site links to the National Cemetery and other virtual Nashville Civil War sites.

Note: get the full screen experience by clicking the icon in the lower left of the screen frame. A zoom option is available also for reading the historical signage. Some markers are embedded in the floating icons.
