Sewanee Information

About Sewanee

Sewanee is a small town nestled into the southwestern part of Middle Tennessee. It’s home to the University of the South and some incredible natural scenery. Hike or bike through the city and you’ll be surrounded by wooded areas, trees, and much more, as you’ll be on the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau. Explore the campus and see why it’s commonly referred to as “The Mountain”, or check out the Shakespeare Garden at the southernmost point on campus. Sewanee is a great place to spend a weekend taking in the natural sites of Middle Tennessee.

Things to do in Sewanee

The Mountain Goat Trail is one of the best places to get out and enjoy nature while in Sewanee. From 1856 to 1985, the Mountain Goat Railroad was used to shuffle coal and passengers between two counties in Tennessee, and was even deemed to be one of the steepest railroad ascents in the world because of the climb up the Plateau. Today, this old railroad trail has been converted into a semi-paved trail giving hikers, bikers, and walkers access to over 20 miles of nature. Start downtown or at the university of the South Campus and explore this beautiful trail. Head to the University of the South and stroll around this historical campus to get a feel for the heart of this town. The idea behind founding the school was to create an institution that was free from northern influences. Construction on the school began in 1857, but parts of the campus were blown up during the Civil War. In 1866, construction resumed and the school was officially opened in 1868. Today, visit the campus and you’ll be stunned by its beauty, as it sits on the precipice of the Cumberland Plateau overlooking the Tennessee Valley (giving it the nickname “The Mountain”). In 2011, the University of the South was even named as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure. Make a trip to the southernmost point on campus and stroll through the Shakespeare Garden, in which herbs and plants named after Shakespeare himself are grown and tended to by students and faculty.
