220 Williow St, Nashville, TN
Tennessee Central Railway Museum

This ride is sure to excite. The Mackle and Wilson Gangs are on the loose again! Rumors are they will attempt to hold up the Excursion Train en route to Watertown and then maybe even raid Watertown itself! Here’s your chance to ride along and see how true these rumors are. You’ll ride a traditional passenger train of cars from the last Golden Age of the passenger train in America! All stainless steel heated/air-conditioned cars provide you with the experience that the American traveling public had in the late 1940s and 1950s. The trip and the action in and near Watertown will be a memorable experience for the entire family! There might even be a shootout in Watertown amongst the US Marshall, and the Mackle-Wilson Gangs! Boarding starts at 8:00am with a 9:00a sharp departure. The train will then head to Watertown where passengers will have the opportunity to dine and shop before heading back to Nashville and arriving around 3:30pm.

The WilCo Pow Wow began in 1991 when a local, Wilson County man with Native American heritage dreamed of educating his community in Native American culture. Since, the founder has passed, but his family continues to work hard to produce an authentic Pow Wow experience that brings awareness to the rich Native American culture and heritage found not only in Tennessee but throughout the nation. The newly re-imagined and re-branded “WilCo Pow Wow” will feature over 150 Native American dancers and drummers, authentic Native American food, arts, crafts and entertainment along with activities such as pottery making, weaving and tomahawk throwing.
