| The Rawlings was established in 1933 by the late Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Rawlings, Sr., parents of the late Captain Joseph Rawlings. Joe Rawlings was the owner and general manager of The Rawlings from 1957 until his death in 1987.
However, the legacy and tradition - now in its third generation - continue with Captain Rawlings’ widow, Tove, and her children, John and Eva. Indoor and outdoor activities are offered all year round in a picturesque, rustic atmosphere miles away from worries, yet only ten miles from downtown Nashville. Come and see why Nashville Scene food critic Kay West said, “I can safely predict that, for us, The Rawlings is going to become a family tradition.”
For almost 70 years, The Rawlings has provided a scenic and historic atmosphere for weddings, family and class reunions, corporate gatherings, holiday parties and banquets. Set on a two-hundred acre estate running along Marrowbone Creek, The Rawlings boasts more than 12,000 square feet of restaurant and party facilities, tastefully decorated with antiques and family heirlooms.
