Some folks expect the heart of the south to pivot on barnyard dances and harvest days out in our ever rolling fields. Of course, those stereotypes sound a little ridiculous if you’ve been born and bred in the heart of the American south. Although we don’t all own multiple pairs of cowboy boots and strut about to country music every day, we do know how to put on a good show here in Nashville, especially at Chaffin’s Barn Theater.
Chaffin's Barn Theater opened in the early 1960's in Nashville, touting an incredible premise: dinner AND a show. It expanded into a chain of twenty-seven locations, though nowadays you can revisit the incredible legacy of this performance barn as Chaffin's and at their second location in North Carolina.
The barn puts on multiple plays and musicals a year, and they transform their venue space into a magical place to escape the world while indulging in story and great food.

The barn is considered one of Nashville's top twenty tourist attractions, though most folks, even locals, are unaware of this hidden gem's legacy.
