Battle of Nashville

In further recognition of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, The Battle of Nashville Preservation Society, Inc., announces its sponsorship of Civil War tours of the Nashville area, including the Battle of Nashville battlefield. BONPS has partnered with local historian Ross Massey, a co-founder of BONPS and recognized authority on the battle and the place it was fought (see more about Ross below), to make personal exploration of the battlefield available to the public.

Tours range from 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours. The charge of the guide is $ 100.00 for both the 2 and 4 hour tour and $ 150.00 for the 6 hour tour. The charge is not per person, but per car or other vehicle. In addition, custom tours at arranged prices are also available, as for example, if a tour is interested in specific areas where ancestors fought. Tours can also be arranged for Civil War Nashville, not just the battle sites. The best time for touring the battlefield is from late October (when the leaves have fallen off the trees) to early Spring, although tours will be available year round.

Neither BONPS nor the tour guide arranges the transportation; those taking the tour are responsible for providing their own transportation or renting a vehicle. There may be some recommendations for a tour van rental company for the best possible price for large groups, but again, it is up to the touring people to arrange for the rental, not BONPS nor the tour guide. This arrangement is what enables BONPS to charge such low prices for the tours due to the elimination of high automobile liability insurance premiums and chauffer requirements.

If this service is successful, BONPS intends to expand the tour guide services by increasing the number of knowledgeable guides as well as tours to other battlefields in the Middle Tennessee area.
