One of Nashville’s premier landmarks – collections and grounds represent life in Middle Tennessee from the Native American period through the Civil War. The home was built in the late 1700’s for Judge John Overton over a burial mound that was the central feature of a Mississippian village. Judge Overton nicknamed the site Golgotha (Hill of Skulls) because of the large number of skulls found during the construction of the cellar of the home.
