Best Way to Feel Like a Country Kid in the Suburbs

Deep in South Nashville, the Ellington Agricultural Center offers more than you might expect. After picnicking in the center’s Iris Garden, visitors can gaze at (and sometimes pet!) the Metro Nashville Police Department’s equestrian force. Then hike a trail that goes by Cul2vate’s farm, ending at Seven Mile Creek, which is the perfect depth to splash around in and catch minnows. The grounds also include the Tennessee Agricultural Museum. The museum is closed on weekends, but not to worry — there’s always plenty of old tractors and farm equipment on display outside to check out. ELIZABETH JONES
