Belmont-Hillsboro-Vanderbilt

Congratulations! You have completed the Belmont-Hillsboro-Vanderbilt tour on Nashville Sites. We hope you have enjoyed learning more about this vibrant area. On this tour we’ve taken a trip through time—and explored the history of four different schools, a world-renowned research hospital and medical center, two neighborhoods, an early suburban shopping and eating district, and of course the Belmont Mansion and estate. Be sure to post pictures and comments on social media and tag us @NashvilleSites. We hope you’ll take our Athens of the South driving tour, and visit one of our other 20+ walking tours. Until we meet again, thank you for supporting Nashville Sites. Signing off, this is Sarah Lawson.

To get back to the Belmont University campus, walk up 17th Avenue for approximately 1/4 mile until you reach Wedgewood Avenue. You will now be across the street from Belmont University. Cross Wedgewood then turn LEFT to reach the sidewalk on the far side of 16th Avenue where it becomes Magnolia Blvd. Be sure to follow the pedestrian crossing signs because this is a busy intersection.

Turn RIGHT and walk up Magnolia for 1 block until you reach the next intersection. You will see signs that direct you toward the Belmont Mansion at 18th Avenue. Following the signs, turn LEFT, and you are back at your starting point!
