About MurfreesboroDespite its central location and its tenure as the state capital 1819-26, Murfreesboro lost the seat of government to Nashville by one vote. A 26-foot obelisk, 3 miles from the public square on Old Lascassas Pike, marks the geographic center of Tennessee.
The 1859 Rutherford County Courthouse on E. Main Street was the site of a dawn attack by Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest and his Confederate cavalry on Union troops encamped within. About 3 miles northwest of town the Battle of Stones River was fought in late December and early January 1862-63.
During the Uncle Dave Macon Days Music and Arts Festival in July, nearly 45,000 people flock to Cannonsburgh Village for music competitions, a juried arts and crafts show, a historic photography exhibit and children's activities. More than 450 Tennessee walking horses are on parade during the International Pleasure and Colt Grand Championship Show in late July.
