St. John's Episcopal Church

Reviewed By MDFS333 - Nashville, United States

For a true reflection of the early 19th century that is all but undisturbed, WE highly suggest you take in this site...... If not for the highway noise, you would think you are viewing the church from the time period perspective..... There is no admission and parking is limited to the front gate. There is no guided tour and, to find out the real story/history, we suggest you research ahead of time and, you will be pleased you have when you take in the site. The architecture is amazing, the site pensive and pristine, and the cemetery is astounding for its sculpture, the who is who of Tennessee history. The church is open for a Whit Sunday service which is in reality a Polk Family reunion and, some other event in the Fall... We could not see the interior but, from description little has changed since it was built.... We will find out the protocol of the Whit Sunday event and perhaps have a peek after services are over..... WOW, this is History....

Great place to find things from the past, things unique, clothing and anything else you wish you could find. Additionally, on the third floor must try out the food and beverages from The Parlour. We tried the Grilled Cheese & Creamy Tomato Soup on a cold, drizzly day. Soon delicious. Amy prepared the food to perfection. They have coffee as well. Take a break from shopping and eat here. Many great unique stores in downtown Columbia...Baxter’s Merchantile is a great place to find unique items, clothing and more as well. Shop downtown Columbia for a day.

Columbia Town Square

Historic downtown Columbia is the classic town square with the iconic courthouse, built in 1906, surrounded by vibrant shops, restaurants, a brewery, and cool places to hang out with friends. But wait, there’s more…adjacent to this beautiful downtown is the emerging Columbia Arts District and the ancestral home of U.S. President James K. Polk to the southwest and the scenic Duck River to the northeast. All this in the growing city of Columbia, population 39,000 or so. An outing in downtown Columbia promises good eats, great finds, live music and relaxing options, equally noteworthy for both the ladies and the guys. Coffee shops, vintage records, book store, barber shops, spas, boutiques, antiques and vintage finds make it worth the trip. If you’re here on the first weekend of the month, be sure to check out First Fridays for live music on the square, inside and outside the shops. And don't miss the annual tradition we celebrate here called Mule Day, happening every April.

First Fridays have been a huge hit! Great oppurtunity to spend some family time or girl time and stroll amongst the shops and pop ups. Love when the weather cooperates so that we can sit out and listen to some of the musicians on the corners.
