See Rock City: The First Rock City Barn

here should be no surprise that the first Rock City Barn I would look for would be the closest one to where I live. It's the only one in Davidson County, Tn (where Nashville is) but in a place I had never been. The Clarksville Highway, designated as U.S. Highway 41A, runs from Clarksville to Nashville through the Northwest side of the county. If you follow it long enough, 41A will take you up to Monteagle, where it merges with the original U.S. 41 and progresses to Chattanooga. The road is much less traveled now by long distance motorists as the highway runs parallel with Interstate 24.

The barn is just across the Cheatham County line, and would be easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. It is on the left side of the street if you are heading south, and there is a line of trees blocking the view of it, making it difficult to see until you are about to pass it. Obviously, the paint has faded as it has not been redone in years. Ironically, it is not located along the stretch of the "Old Clarksville Highway." Someone more familiar with the history of roads in the area may know when the newer stretch was developed.
