Collection: Middle Tennessee

Middle Tennessee is the largest of the state's three grand divisions by count: the Tennessee Code lists 41 of its 95 counties here. Its heart is the Central Basin, rolling farm country with the Highland Rim rising on every side. The Tennessee River marks its western line, and in the east it climbs onto the Cumberland Plateau, where Fall Creek Falls drops 256 feet in a single plunge.

Nashville grew from the French Lick on the Cumberland River. In 1779 and 1780, James Robertson led one party of settlers there overland and John Donelson led another by river.

Our Middle Tennessee designs begin with its state parks: Radnor Lake, the state natural area eight miles from downtown Nashville; Long Hunter, on Percy Priest Lake; the rare cedar glades of Cedars of Lebanon; Montgomery Bell, where the Cumberland Presbyterian Church was founded in 1810; and the waterfalls of Fall Creek Falls, Cummins Falls and Rock Island. Each shirt's page tells the story of its place, and our State Parks Guide goes deeper on each park.

Every design is our own, from a Native Nashvillian with deep roots, printed to order on a soft Bella+Canvas 3001 tee. Tennessee Pride Apparel is independent and not affiliated with Tennessee State Parks.
