Mission: Travellers Rest Historic House Museum, Inc. is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the 1799 Overton home and landscape and serving as a gateway for learners of all ages to explore and experience Nashville's historic past.

How we fulfill our mission: Located in the Crieve Hall neighborhood of Nashville, Travellers Rest fulfills our mission by preserving and using the cultural resources at Travellers Rest to provide history education through programs, tours, and exhibitions for adults, school-aged children, and visitors to Nashville.

Tax-deductible donations of cash, by check, or credit card payment are gratefully accepted and always appreciated! Unrestricted gifts are used to preserve this Great American Treasure and to provide interpretive educational programs for learners of all ages. In addition to general contributions, donors can help put the finishing touches on two current projects that will help direct future growth and programming: the stabilization of the foundation of the historic smokehouse and a comprehensive survey of the entire site conducted with Ground Penetrating Radar.

We seek volunteers to help with special events and building/grounds cleanup projects. Volunteers to maintain our formal garden and herb garden are much needed! Seasonal grounds maintenance, such as mulching, painting, and raking leaves are a few of the many ways in which groups or individuals can contribute.
