We saw the Tempest here at the outdoor theater. It’s honestly a hidden gem. Tucker away from the heart of the downtown Mufreesboro off the beaten path. It has mature trees, hidden theatre, beautiful flowers, and a picture book surroundings.

We had the privilege of touring the Oaklands Mansion (for a reduced admission fee). There is so much to see. Nicely preserved history! Beautiful furnishings! We spent a good hour reading and touring the place.
