Cheekwood
Known For
Rotating art installations woven through sculpted garden rooms
Cheekwood is one of those Nashville estates where every path bends into a new great-for-photos moment — sculpture installations against seasonal blooms, cozy nooks tucked between garden rooms. It rewards slow walkers.
🕐Best time to visit: October afternoons when the foliage peaks
Our Take
Cheekwood is 55 acres of sculpted gardens, seasonal art installations, and a Georgia O'Keeffe-worthy botanical landscape that most tourists walk right past on their way to Broadway. The score reflects a place that rewards the curious — it's genuinely special but still feels like a locals-first discovery.
