Battle of Nashville Confederate Line

Trenches about 20 ft. N of this point, held by Loring's Division, were the center of the confederate main line before the Battle of Nashville. On Dec. 15, 1864, Redoubt No. 1, a key artillery salient 200 yds. NW, fired on Federal forces until overrun by General Wood's troops late in the day, when Confederates retreated toward Granny White Pike.

Marker is at the intersection of Woodmont Boulevard and Hopkins Street, on the right when traveling west on Woodmont Boulevard.
