Mayor
Ben
West
speaking
at the
Farmers’
Market
,
September
,
1954
.
Since
its
inception
on the
town
square
in the
early
1800’s
, the
Farmers’
Market
has been a
vital
part
of
Nashville
life
. There have been
several
venues
, for
example
in the
early
1800’s
Nashville
constructed
a
new
City
Hall
and
Market
House
on the
west
side
of the
downtown
public
square
.
During
the
1930’s
, the
City
Hall
,
Market
House
and
Courthouse
Buildings
were
demolished
to
make
way
for the
new
Davidson
County
Courthouse
and a
new
Market
House
was
constructed
on the
north
side
of the
square
. In the
mid-1950’s
the
City
moved
the
Farmers’
Market
to a
new
location
just
north
of
Downtown
on
Jefferson
Street
. In
1995
, the
Farmers’
Market
was
renovated
as
part
of the
Bicentennial
State
Park
Mall
development
. The
address
of the
Farmers’
Market
is
