Nashville wasn't always known as Music City. Did you know it was at one point referred to as Powder City? Join us as we talk with Davidson County Historian Dr. Carole Bucy on stories from our region. Hear how the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic impacted Nashville, the role our waterways played in the Trail of Tears, a brief history of our drinking water system, and much more. Plus, you'll hear how powerful family storytelling and trips to a cemetery led to a career in history and Dr. Bucy's personal calls to protect water in our region.
