Overview
The Cheek Family, who founded Maxwell Coffee, built this elegant mansion in the late 1920s. In the late 1950's, they donated the mansion and the surrounding 65 acres to the City of Nashville, which maintains the estate today. This Nashville treasure includes the botanical gardens, contemporary art galleries, a gift shop and the Pineapple Room restaurant. A variety of classes and workshops are available to all ages. There is also the Cheekwood's Museum of Art which house some great American and British paintings which are worth checking out. The grounds include several types of gardens and the Woodland Sculpture Trail.Open Hours
Tu to Sa from 09:30 AM to 04:30 PM, Su from 11:00 AM to 04:30 PM
The gardens are amazing - were in full bloom the first week in April. Nice paths and the mansion and art museum are included in the price. Lovely place to visit.
I went to Cheekwood while on vacation in Nashville 2 years ago and absolutely loved it. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place. My favorite part was the nature trail with the various sculptures. There was some fascinating art work.
I would not waste my time into going to Cheekwood. The staff at Cheekwood are very rude and extremely snobby! Beings that it is located in "Belle Meade"....if your address is not Belle Meade then they will turn their head on you!!! Take it from me...If I would have known this I would have not paid to have my wedding their, so I am saying all of this due to experience!!!!!
