Scarritt-Bennett Center

Comment on Facebook

Located on ten tree-filled acres in the heart of Nashville, the Scarritt Bennett Center serves as a conference, retreat, and education center. With a peaceful, nurturing atmosphere, and compact setting, it is just a short walk to well-equipped meeting rooms, delicious meals, and restful sleeping rooms. For your next retreat or meeting, choose one of ten buildings, constructed of crab orchard stone in collegiate gothic architectural style. The gothic chapel has held 100+ weddings each year. Through displays of cultural artifacts, the museum teaches about cultures from every continent.
