3 Best Day Trips from Nashville | Condé Nast Traveler

"This rather modest home is where the 11th president lived as a teenager and young man, and is the only house still standing, besides the White House, where James K. Polk ever lived. Because Columbia is off the beaten path and Polk is not the best-known president, it feels a little like a secret. It's definitely not as trafficked as, say, Andrew Jackson's Hermitage. Once you get inside, though, you'll see that it is well researched and curated." - Margaret Littman
