This Town Just Outside Of Nashville Is Perfect For A Day Trip From The City

Nashville is known around the world as Music City because of its glut of history in producing some of the world's favorite music. But just south of the city is a little town that is known for a completely different kind of thing. The town of Columbia is affectionately known as MuleTown. In fact, it's actually the mule capital of the world. But the town is more than its popular annual Mule Day festival. The quaint town is full of history, shops, restaurants, and the prettiest Main Street you've ever seen.

Just an hour south of Nashville, the town of Columbia is a truly great destination, and people are starting to notice.

The town's Main Street leads right up to the picturesque courthouse and is lined with dozens of shops and restaurants.

One of the most popular spots downtown is Muletown Coffee, a locally owned cafe that serves up some of the best coffee in the state.

Thinking you want something colder? Try Hattie Jane's Creamery, an ice cream shop that serves up cream made from local farms.

Columbia is a town where the people are welcoming and the living is easy.

The town's also full of history. The town is over 200 years old, with buildings and homes nearly as old as the city itself.

The city motto of Columbia is that there's "something good around every corner," which is absolutely true. You never know what you'll find!
