  Lockeland Springs Park

  Lockeland Springs is one of East Nashville’s most beloved neighborhoods—a historic district with deep roots and a creative soul.

  Edgefield

  As we cross the river into East Nashville, we ride through the Edgefield neighborhood—one of the city’s earliest suburbs and a true treasure trove of architectural and cultural history. Developed in the mid-1800s, Edgefield was once home to Nashville’s elite, and it still showcases beautifully preserved Victorian, Italianate, and Queen Anne-style homes that line its quiet, tree-canopied streets. This area has weathered a lot over the years—from devastating fires in the late 1800s to major tornados in more recent decades—but it’s always rebounded with strength and community spirit. Riding through Edgefield feels like stepping back in time, with each home and block offering a glimpse into Nashville’s layered past. Our guides bring the neighborhood’s stories to life—sharing the history of its founding, its architectural evolution, and the creative spirit that still defines East Nashville today.
