Mt Juliet offers a variety of reasons to stay: trails and music events at Charlie Daniels Park, exhibits on local history, a connection to the Second Great Awakening of 1800, and activities at an orchard. You can choose your focus based on your interests—outdoor recreation, history, worship or seasonal activities.
Trails, play and music at Charlie Daniels Park
The fenced Planet Playground at Charlie Daniels Park covers 9,000 square feet. The park also has a walking path about one mile long, connected to the Cedar Creek Greenway. The paved trails in Mt Juliet are designed for two-way traffic and multiple uses. This means there is both a specific walking path in the park and a broader trail option for different uses.
The amphitheater at Charlie Daniels Park hosts musical performances at various events throughout the year. The city’s 2026 event calendar also lists an annual Greenway Walk in the park. Specific dates may vary from year to year; check the date for the period of your trip.
A bike park in Mt Juliet aims to promote safety and awareness among young cyclists. This puts a distinct aspect of cycling in focus, while the paved trails are designed for multiple uses.
Model trains and local history
The model railroad exhibit at Hibbett Hall offers a look at the Mount Juliet of the 1910s through the 1940s. Several history exhibits focus on Mount Juliet’s incorporation as a city in 1972. The topics span different periods, from an earlier era to a clearly dated milestone in the city’s development.
Hibbett Hall is open on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., or by appointment. Check the hours before your visit. The Corley & Son General Store Museum also showcases local history, with artifacts and memorabilia collected by longtime resident Fred Corley.
Church connection and worship
Cloyd's Cumberland Presbyterian Church has roots in the Second Great Awakening of 1800. The church holds a Sunday service at 11:00 a.m. Together, these details connect a historical association with a specific weekly time. If this is of interest, you can take the service into account when planning your visit.
Outings and pizza at Breeden’s Orchard
During Breeden’s Orchard’s hands-on educational outings, children can explore a working apple and peach orchard. Seasonal availability may change, so check the dates for your desired travel period. The orchard serves fresh, oven-baked pizza every Thursday. This schedule may also change, so it’s a good idea to check before visiting.
Planning with the Music City Star
Mount Juliet is served by the Music City Star commuter rail. It has six stops and ends at Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville. If you plan to include the train in your trip, check the schedule before traveling. This gives you a sense of the route based on its stops and terminus, without assuming a specific departure time.
