Accommodations

TPA normally reserves a block of rooms for those attending the TPA.  Reservation information will be posed as soon as available.

For one or two persons, a relatively inexpensive alternative is to stay at the Scarritt Bennett Center at 1027 18th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37212.  Scarritt Bennett (http://www.scarrittbennett.org/), once a Methodist seminary, is also a short walk from Furman Hall.  Accommodations are singles in dormitory buildings (two rooms per bath) and are modestly priced.  For individual room bookings, call 615.340.7469 to speak with a Guest Services staff member.
