Murfreesboro is situated just southeast of Nashville, which makes it an ideal base for visitors interested in exploring the history of the Civil War and enjoying some laidback small-town charm. To learn about the region’s role in the Civil War, you can visit the Stones River National Battlefield and Oaklands Historic House Museum. Families can tour Cannonsburgh pioneer village and have hours of hands-on fun at the Discovery Center at Murfree Spring, and everyone will enjoy strolling around the historical downtown area. Outdoor enthusiasts can go hiking, walking, or biking along a paved trail in the Stones River Greenway in Murfreesboro. In summer you can cool down at the Boro Beach Water Park.
