About this place
Murfreesboro, a rapidly growing city in Middle Tennessee, serves as the largest suburb of Nashville and a historic hub in its own right. Once a brief capital of Tennessee, the city combines a deep-rooted heritage with a lively university-town energy courtesy of Middle Tennessee State University.
The compact and walkable historic downtown revolves around a pre-Civil War courthouse square, with local shops, restaurants, and cultural venues. Civil War history runs through the area—Stones River National Battlefield preserves the site of one of the war's bloodiest conflicts, and remnants of Fortress Rosecrans remain visible.
