Travellers Rest in Nashville, Tennessee
The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Tennessee saved Travellers Rest from likely demolition in 1954. Since then, the Dames have been an integral force in the preservation and interpretation of Travellers Rest. Working in partnership with the professional staff and Board of Directors at the non-profit Travellers Rest Historic House Museum, Inc., the Tennessee Dames help to educate thousands of guests from across the country and around the world each year on nearly 1,000 years of Tennessee history.
Travellers Rest is a proud member of the NSCDA’s Great American Treasures program, and we sincerely hope that you will visit soon!
