Cheekwood, once the private estate of the Cheek family, was completed in 1932. It is a 60-room Georgian mansion, and experienced an 18 million dollar renovation in 1999. Cheekwood's beautiful 55-acre garden setting high in the hills west of Nashville includes the Botanical Gardens and a Museum of Art. The grounds include a newly renovated Water Garden, Color Garden, Seasons Garden and the new Woodland Sculpture Trail. A spectacular sunset is an added treat.
