We accidentally found Cannonsburgh Village near downtown Murfreesboro, TN on a greenway bike ride over the thanksgiving holiday and it was really cool! That is, if you like historic places. There were so many cool buildings from so long ago that represented the middle Tennessee area from the turn of the century and before. Doctors office, a grain mill, a town hall, a school building, a church, a general store. So cool. Our 3yr old even loved it!

Very interesting exhibits. You can donut at your own pace, and its small enough to do in a couple of hours. We had a really nice afternoon learning about life in early Tennessee, and thew grounds are well maintained, and its very easy to get to. Also, no entrance fee! Donations are appreciated.

Ive been here many times before and always enjoyed it. Today I brought my young kids mainly to take pictures, but my kids loved seeing the old buildings and exploring the area in general. As an added bonus there was a craft going on in the gazebo today so they got to paint and assemble wooden tops to take home. We spent several hours there just enjoying the day.

This pioneer village tucked in the heart of Murfreesboro is such a hidden gem! It was refreshing and a great place to slow down. Cannonsburgh village is great free activity to do and a wonderful place to take pictures! Also located here is the world’s largest cedar bucket, which is a cool bonus! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes for walking around, and check the weather before you go because it is outdoors. The gift shop had some great souvenirs and you can see the occasional blacksmith at work from time to time. I throughly enjoyed my experience, and will be taking my all my future visitors here!

Great little gem ! Easy to get to, free to explore. History at its best. Great place for a picnic, then jump on the trail for a walk.

One of the most historically important spots in middle Tennessee. If you love history its definitely worth a stop.

Loved coming here for years and now I get to bring my babies here to learn the history of the area they were born and raised... Even at 3&4 they thouroughly enjoyed it... It is a community treasure and I am so happy they take care of it! It is a bit hard as a disabled person, but I was able to see most of it!

Ive toured the grounds before but my favorite visit was the haunted house event! It was fun and safe social distance measures were applied

Great place to go and see historical structures. Take the kids and make a day of it. Also check the bulletin board for upcoming events.

Went on the off season and it was still really cool!! If you plan ahead you could see a live blacksmith at work in this pioneer style town. Will definitely be going back in spring

It was raining the day I visited. I didnt get to see inside any of buildings other than window views. Lady inside visitor center was very nice. Snagged a few photos. Love the reserved history here.

Not as dirty as everyone says. A bit smelly by the river though.

I loved the place, however I would of liked to see more accessible for either handicapped or ones like me that cannot do stairs, even if only one or two. I didnt get to see everything so it will be another trip down.

The gentleman that was working the gift shop was super knowledgeable and a great story teller. The property itself was interesting and informative. The stained glass in the church was beautiful, Im sure it makes for a perfectly sweet place to have a small wedding. We also loved that it was pup friendly, including the gift shop when our poor pup overheated.

Had good time

The Best run city venue in Murfreesboro, & they know how to have GREAT EVENTS.THANKS TEAM CANNONBOURGH VILLAGE

Got married here 16 years ago. Still Happy

Our 10 year old loves this place

Great place! Lots of information and the buildings were beautiful.

Awesome little place to visit...and its free...

Beautiful wedding chapel and friends exchanging vows. Amazing place.

Such a cute educational and informative little historical village!

Amazing and free museum! Highly recommend!

A great place to relax at, nice slow walk around, and even learn some history. It is interesting to see how people lived back then and some of the machines they used. My kids always enjoy a few hours at cannonsburgh.

Accepts donations, informative, well kept, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. It was a good place to stop and look around. Oh, the worlds largest cedar barrel is there too!

Beautiful place for photography.

Great place to walk around and learn some history, ya heard!

We go to Uncle Dave Macon days every year here. Reasonably priced, lots of parking. The food selection is incredible ! Lots of good music, arts and crafts. Good for kids.

Very nice village, not a long walking self-guided tour! So much history and great displays!!

This is a very cute little village that sort of reminds me of going back to Mayberry with Andy Griffith. Cannonsburgh offers history, a small town feel and a lovely setting for a small wedding or even a corporate event. The staff there is very inviting and helpful. I recommend Cannonsburgh for those who would like to experience a little bit of history and as well as to couples considering marriage that dont want to break the bank in the process of getting married.

Very nice restored village from 1800s to early 1900s.

This place is amazing it brings history back and you can see what it was like in the 1800s. A lot of people take photos for Christmas cards and other holidays. There are old farm tractors to see and read about. There is also a school house, mill, doctor office library and a lot of interesting things to see. Its a must visit at least once to walk back in time you might learn something you never knew. They have a gift shop there that you can buy stuff at. The greenway is right there that you can also take a walk on. There is parking and it is free so stop by and enjoy your day you will be glad you did.

Such a beautiful scenery, perfect for taking pictures - enjoying nature - and getting a feel of the good old days. The chapel is just gorgeous and the prices for a wedding here are very affordable. The Lions Club is perfect for parties or gatherings and the rate is super affordable for it as well. Really love this place.

Loved it.... an old Pioneer town

Love this place. Cant wait to come back!

Love the RCBA blacksmith shop!

Very nice historical village.

My dear friend came from San Diego to visit and we had a wonderful time at the event there. Great historical community and history of Murfreesboro.

Quiet place to hangout. Right off the greenway system. Great place for weddings. Check out historic Ruthrford Co.

Lots of neat stuff to check out

Really neat walk through history. Like that it is a free attraction right off the Greenway. Lots of old tractors and farm implements I found interesting.

Interesting for a small little walk in history.

Loved it very beautiful and educational for all ages

I love to come here for the international festival! Amazing place!

Very informative of the time and a nice little walk through history. I was disappointed that there werent any people walking around or demonstrating, but it could have been the time of day. We went late on a Sunday. Still a good trip!

Great rustic village. For us, it was a short visit, you can go through pretty quickly if you like. A variety of rustic buildings that show a way life used to be. Theres a museum of local history and display s of older farm equipment.

Great place to see how they lived back in the day. Music from local artists is always nice to sit back and listen to and occasionally dance. Other Art and kids venues make it great for the entire family.

It was our first time there

Like this little place that sets you back to a simpler time. I was here for UDMD festival. Music all day!

Got married there. Authentic place and amazing staff.

Beautiful, serene with fascinating rich history.

Great bit of history. They even let us in after hours because we had driven a couple hours from out of town to see it. They know their history and enjoy sharing it - definitely recommend stopping by.

I love coming here and appreciating where our York comes from, but I wish it wasnt a hang out for the homeless and the druggies, especially when I bring my kids.

Great place to play pokemon go and see the worlds biggest cedar bucket

Loved the old equipment and houses. Great place to see history.

Very clean and well taken care of. Not a planned trip but was very glad we stopped and walked around. Very informative and interesting place.

Nice place

Beautiful place...I was disappointed that the Google website said it was open till 4pm o. Sunday when it actually was not

Old historical part of town. You can see early local life and some nice displays. Takes about an hour.

Very well done.. Preserved construction and local history.. Worth the visit!

Lots of history of early America

Cannonsburgh is the re-creation of a pioneer village and is the original name for Murfreesboro. It has a gristmill, one-room schoolhouse, town hall, log home, church, general store and a working blacksmiths shop to visit. We found it also has a very large (supposedly the worlds largest) cedar bucket. It is a fun place to take the children and there is room on the grounds for a picnic lunch. Although it is not very interactive, and it doesnt begin to match larger early American village settings such as Williamsburg or the Jamestown Settlement, it does offer a small scale view of what some of the local pioneer businesses, one-room school, an early American home, and town hall might appear to be like--all in a quaint setting.

It was beautiful my niece LaQuischia and her man C.J a lovely couple a new born child coming and that they first child to each other that a blessing

Neat little historical set up of an old village cant go in most of the buildings but they do have a blacksmith and some other old styled professions. Excellent place for photos and entrance is free.

Nice little trip through history. Not too long of a tour but well worth the time.

Wonderful place for events . family friendly and easy to get too.

Cool re-creation! Even our 2 toddlers enjoyed running around. We have gone on 2 separate Saturdays and neither time was busy which was nice. It was a nice free short afternoon activity.

Loved it. A good day trip with the family. We have been visiting for many years.

Had a great time and found the history fascinating.

Great insight into old America and all for free too

Fun place to visit whether theres an event scheduled or not. Historical buildings set up around a neat gazebo.

Great place to take the family. Blacksmith shop was amazing.

Beautiful window into the past.

Great place to take pictures for prom or anything else...

A lot of great history here.Learn more about it each visit.Check it out for your self you want be disappointed.

I belong to the blacksmith club that meets in the historic blacksmith shop in Cannonsburg Village. This is a great place to visit and see all the historic buildings. Great photography shots at well.

Very nice and scenic place to walk. You really feel like you have traveled back in time. It is very well kept and clean. Employees are informative and friendly. Lots of history in one little place. Also connects to the trail ways if you want a longer stroll. Theres also a place to host private events.

Love this place. I think in a previous life, I lived in this era. I enjoy it and its a great place to bring kids of all ages

Great example of the beginning of a Tennessee town.

Beautiful detailed village of the past times

Travel back in time to a visit a piece of history

Great spot for local history or to start your walk down the greenway.

A very nice place to take the whole family

Quaint little village. There is quite a bit of history here from the village itself to the exhibit of tractors and everything in between, The people here are nice as can be. There is even an art gallery that promotes local artists along with a small museum highlighting the area. Next to it is a scenic walk, though recommend the walk when it isnt so hot.

Great place for weddings receptions or just to take the kids to see how things used to be.

Wow! What an amazing place. So informative and carefully maintained. Took the self-guided stroll through the entire village - Id budget at least an hour to explore all the buildings and read all the signs. Lovely little shop with friendly staff at the entrance. Absolutely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Loved it!

A great historic site

Awesome place to walk around. Something to learn everywhere you look.

Great to visit everyone should go at least once

Ok, where do I start. This is a must see when in the Murfreesboro Tennessee area. The staff has got to be the best Ive seen in a long while. They are friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Cannonsburgh Village is very informative as to the way things were. It is also very well laid out and extremely clean. Yes I would recommend making this one of your stops when in the area.

Awesome little place with a ton of historical information. Nestled among the old buildings that describe life in the early days of the city is a blacksmith and working forge that offers classes in the art! Truly amazing little village that has, what I believe, is the largest wooden bucket on display, as well as a plethora of antique tractors on display which is truly awesome!

Hours need to be updated. Says on the web that the grounds are open until 7:30 on Saturday and closed Sunday. We arrived at 5:00 on a Saturday and the grounds were closed and locked with signs saying they are only open till 4pm and that they do have Sunday hours. Would be nice to have known the actual hours.

Awesome experience! RThoroughly enjoyed!

A great place to visit. The staff was very informative and friendly.

Fantastic, the main thing I visited there was the blacksmiths workshop, every one was so nice and helpful. There was also great food and music available. Overall I had a great time!

This is a wonderful historic village. Everyone is so informative. Working blacksmith shop. The gentleman there the day we visited explained what they were doing and answered questions. All buildings are very well taken care of. Free self tour. Donations accepted. Worth the visit.

Loved it

Love this place! Such history and great events!

Very nice 1800 era historical buildings with the interiors that looks like they are lived and worked in. Lots of tools and old tractors as well as a blacksmith shop. Staff is very nice and helpful
