MetroConnect Tour: Bus Ride to NPL's Civil Rights and Votes For Women Rooms
About this Event
Join us for a fun and educational two part tour! We will learn how to navigate the bus system together and also learn about the very important role that Nashville played in both the Civil Rights and Women's Suffrage movements.
First, NDOT’s Nashville Connector team will lead us on a group WeGo bus ride to the Nashville Public Library’s main branch. Then, we will visit the Civil Rights and Votes for Women Rooms, where our experienced guides will explain the historical significance of these special exhibit/program spaces before the return bus ride. There will be a short walk of a few blocks between the bus stop and the library.
Did you know that Metro employees qualify for a FREE bus pass? We will help you get yours before the tour if you don’t already have one. The group bus ride will leave from Howard Office Building, but if you would prefer to catch the bus from elsewhere, we can help create a customized travel plan for you!
Please reference the images below for parking and meeting instructions. If you already work on Fulton Campus, just leave your vehicle where it is parked. If you are driving to Fulton Campus, park in any open spaces in the red marked area. This includes the Children's Theater parking lot, which is sometimes less crowded than the other surface lots. The yellow circle indicates the tour meeting point outside of the front entrance of Howard Office Building. We will gather there before catching the bus together.
For cyclists, bike racks are located between Howard Office Building and Lindsley Hall.
