cannonsburgh village

Closed but enough to see on my own. Well maintained and signs that tell the history of the buildings. Great place for photographers. Has a area to the left with antique tractors and a old looking gas station. Well worth my 10 minute drive!!

There are a lot of historical items from the area and it's free to see. You get a pamphlet with all of the buildings on it but not a map of which buildings are where. Depending on how you view everything a couple can be passed by easily. One of the buildings was set up like a museum with a lot of area stuff but it seemed to be randomly put together. My guess is that as things get donated they just throw it in where they can. Not everything was labeled. Those that were had difficult to read handwritten notes or type that was too small to read easily. It was well worth the visit though and there was a trail that you could walk right next to it. They do close during bad weather so I would call ahead to make sure they are open.

I've lived in Murfreesboro most of my life and I didn't even know this place existed. At first I thought it was odd that it was in the middle of town with modern buildings surrounding it, but as soon as I entered the village all my reservations disappeared. I'm the type of person who finds old-fashioned style homes/churches/schools to be extremely cute and fascinating to look at so walking through this place was a great deal of fun to me. I made sure to go when there was no other visitors. It was very peaceful and quaint.It was self-guided (which I greatly appreciated as I like to go at my own speed) and there were many buildings to see. The doors on them were open so you could peer inside and look at the furnishings which was my favorite part (everything was well put-together, my favorite being the doctors office.) They had old cars there as well and a stream to dip your feet into in the summer. The windmill was beautiful. Also the people who ran the small gift-shop were nice. From my experience, all the workers were nice there. I even got over-heated in the sun and almost passed out and a lady from the art building came out and gave me water. Admission was free too!Overall, a wonderful time and I'd encourage anyone to go.

I live in Murfreesboro and can remember when this village was put together during the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration. Back then I thought it was cool. I still think so today. If you go on a quiet day, you can take your time and go around the buildings and all that were placed here to resemble an old time village. I hate that the general store is no longer open, but it is still a neat experience. Homes, Schoolhouses, Outhouses, Smokehouses, Different Outposts, Church, and museums of old Murfreesboro are on the property (and did I say the world's largest cedar bucket?).But, YOU MUST COME during Uncle Dave Macon Days. This is when this little village comes to life with music, and vendors, and people. I especially love the way that different musical groups collect under the trees, on front porches, in breezeways, and wherever else they can gather to play bluegrass music and to clog. Also, the blacksmiths are out doing their work, which is always interesting to observe. There is a shed full of old tractors and farm equipment to see, if that is your thing. It transforms this quiet village into the pioneer village it is meant to be. When they first moved the festival from the Courthouse area to this area, I didn't like it. However, I agree it has added character and charm to the festival and to Cannonsburgh itself.You can go to Cannonsburgh anytime and love it.....but I would recommend going during Uncle Dave Macon Days....and LIVE IT.

I found this interesting not a single building was actually original to the site but have been moved their to preserve them. I thought even thought it had been put their it still was interesting. You had a toll bridge, gristmill, church all of that. I was a little disappointed that your couldn't enter into most of the buildings and look around most had an small entrance to step into but more than a couple buildings had blocked the entrance and had it so you couldn't see into the building. But it was a good way to spend an 1 and 30 minutes plus its free no charge and the visitors center is pretty neat too. While its level I wouldn't take a stroller or wheelchair through here just because to get from the sidewalk to the houses you have to go over gravel which is like walking on sand. But if you have an interest in history go and take a look well worth it

We stopped here on our trip to Florida. As a late night rest stop we headed here to see from internet searching the World's Largest Cedar Bucket. It was just before dark when we arrived. The buildings were closed but we were still able to go around this small village and look around. We finally came to the bucket which was pretty big. We enjoyed our small stop here.I am sure its even better when the buildings are open.

A must see. Great job on preserving our history... And it is FREE!Also on site is an antique museum filled with so muchThey offer wedding service at the chapel as well

These buildings have moved here from other spots around the state. Very bare bones display. The brochure looked better than the actual village. Go if you have time, if not, I would skip it.

Took the kids here to tour the village. Admission is free, it was a VERY hot day so we did it a little faster than we would have otherwise. I do wish they had volunteers "working" and describing things as they do in most villages like this, but that was my only disappointment. Absolutely worth the trip!

Beautiful grounds, interesting activities, friendly staff. I enjoy attending organized activities at Cannonsburgh, as well as spending time with my grandchildren walking the grounds, reading the signs on each building, playing in the creek, and looking at the tractors. An interesting, educational, and enjoyable place to hang out. Check it out for yourself!

Loved the blacksmith shop so much that I signed up for the blacksmithing class there several years ago. Excellent group of blacksmith who a very good at teaching the art.

I had thought this was an actual village but it was not at all. It was replica of different business and homes from the past. Some of the replicas the furnishing didn't match the time period. The small museum was a collection of antiques clustered together with no markers to describe the objects. The staff was rude in the gift shop area and had no interest in helping my family. The wedding was pretty however it was a joke to have a wedding there. This fake village is right in the middle of town, behind the church was a line of old tractors and the village was very small. A major let down even though it was free.

This is a place filled with local history. They have workshops and a complete village of the buildings as they were in the day. A beautiful little chapel. You can even reserve it for getting married. The river runs directly by here and it is a great place to go and enjoy the scenery and the village. In the summer they have a fruit and vegetable market on certain days. Take a walk back in time and enjoy!

If you are in Murfreesboro and what to see how things were back then. This is the place to visit they have a blacksmith shop and a old grist mill. And they also have Uncle Dave Macon Days every year. Its a bluegrass festival very great.

Wasn't open on a Monday in winter so could be better when it is. It's a fake village on the site of an old factory demolished in 1990. Buildings have been brought from all over the state. Interesting way to save them but the whole thing seemed a little too false without more information or guides being available to ask questions.The setting was really nice and the old tractors were good to see. The church looked like a really nice setting for a wedding which you can book there. The river walk which started at the site was also very nice.
