“City Hall & Public Square” Launch

The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County will celebrate the launch of a new virtual and audio walking tour: “City Hall and Public Square” at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, April 19, 2026, on the steps of the Historic Courthouse & City Hall (weather permitting*).

Hosted on the free digital platform NashvilleSites.org, the tour offers residents and visitors an inside look at one of the city’s most impressive civic spaces. It explores how the history of the Davidson County Courthouse and the Public Square reflect the city’s growth and evolving democratic life, from 18th and 19th Century wooden and brick buildings to the 1937 Art Deco limestone design that brought all branches of local government together under one roof. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and houses the Office of the Mayor, the Metropolitan Council, and X/number of court rooms.

*In the event of inclement weather, the celebration will take place inside the Historic Courthouse and City Hall on the second floor mezzanine.
