Discover Mt Juliet: Parks, History and Music

Mt Juliet offers a variety of reasons to stay: trails and events at Charlie Daniels Park, local history in its museums, a Sunday church service and activities at an orchard. The Music City Star commuter rail can also factor into your travel plans.

Parks, Trails and Events

Charlie Daniels Park includes the fenced 9,000-square-foot Planet Playground. A walking path about one mile long in the park connects to the Cedar Creek Greenway. The playground and path offer different ways to include the park in your plans: a designated play area and a trail that connects to the greenway.

The paved trails in Mt Juliet are designed for two-way traffic and multiple uses. The Charlie Daniels Park amphitheater hosts musical performances at various events throughout the year. If you’re planning a visit around music or an event, it’s worth checking the relevant dates.

The city’s 2026 event calendar also lists an annual Greenway Walk at Charlie Daniels Park. Dates may change from year to year, so check the calendar for the period of your trip. A bike park in Mt Juliet aims to promote the safety and awareness of young cyclists.

Local History at Hibbett Hall and the Corley Museum

At Hibbett Hall, a model railroad exhibit offers a glimpse into Mount Juliet in the 1910s through the 1940s. Several other history exhibits cover Mount Juliet’s incorporation as a city in 1972. The topics range from an earlier period in local history to a specific later date in the city’s history.

Hibbett Hall is open on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., or by appointment. If you plan a visit, check the opening hours again before your trip.

The Corley & Son General Store Museum focuses on something different: it displays local artifacts and memorabilia collected by longtime resident Fred Corley. While Hibbett Hall covers several topics through its model railroad and history exhibits, this museum centers on collected objects from local history.

Church Service and Orchard Activities

Cloyd's Cumberland Presbyterian Church has roots in the Great Revival of 1800 and holds a Sunday service at 11:00 a.m. Its historical connection and regular weekly time provide different points of reference when planning a visit as part of your trip.

During Breeden’s Orchard’s hands-on, educational outings, children can explore a working apple and peach orchard. The orchard also serves fresh, oven-baked pizza every Thursday. Seasonal availability of the outings and the food service schedule may change; check both before your visit.

Travel by Music City Star

The Music City Star commuter rail serves Mt Juliet, includes six stops and terminates at Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville. The number of stops and the terminus are specific reference points for planning your trip. If you’d like to take the train, check the schedule before your trip.
