Murfreesboro's
Historic District contains outstanding examples of
houses and commercial buildings constructed in the
late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. A
wayfarer passing here in the spring of 1860 wrote
flatteringly of the attractive homes. "As a general
thing," he noted, "the country villages
of our state are far from presenting a thriving cultivated
appearance...but the citizens of this borough may
well challenge any section...to produce a place of
the same size containing more handsome residences."
The writer knew nothing of Murfreesboro's past, but
intuition provided him with a sure sense of the stamp
of history on the texture of the community. That same
sense occurs to many of today's visitors.
