FORT NASHBOROUGH, 1st Ave. N and Church St. built in 1930, is a model of the fort built by James Robertson and his party on this site in 1780.  Joseph J. Hart, of Nashville, was the architect.

Inside a stockade of black locust logs are log blockhouses chinked with mud.  The houses have hand[split shingles, puncheon floors, and handmade furniture of the period.  - Tennessee: A Guide to the State, Nashville section , pg. 191.

Fort Nashborough was renovated and substantially reconstructed in 1962.  The fort continues to operate as a museum.   It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
