Around Woodmont Christian Church
Woodmont Christian Church stands near the district's commercial heart, its brick sanctuary anchoring the retail blocks where Green Hills keeps most of its shops, so the neighbourhood's landmark and its busiest walking ground share the same stretch of street.

About Green Hills
What are the main landmarks in Green Hills?
Three landmarks fix Green Hills on the map. Woodmont Christian Church raises its brick tower over the retail core, Sunnyside preserves an antebellum house within its parkland to the south, and Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium fills with college baseball crowds on game days. The stadium bears two names.
Between the church, the old house, and the ballfield, the district holds a spread of sights well beyond its size.
What is the history of Green Hills?
Green Hills grew as Nashville reached south. What began as farmland and scattered estates filled in as the city spread outward, and the antebellum house at Sunnyside survived the change to stand among the newer residential streets that came to define the district. The old fields gave way to homes.
Woodmont Christian Church later took its place at the commercial centre, giving the district a settled, residential character that has held ever since.
Where is Green Hills?
Green Hills sits among the rolling wooded ridges south of downtown Nashville, a temperate stretch of Tennessee where residential streets thread between the low hills that give the district its name. It rises and falls in gentle folds. Sunnyside and its parkland mark one green edge, and the wider neighbourhoods of Nashville wrap the district on every side.
