A Cowboy town is just around the bend in White’s Creek area at beautiful Ramblin’ Breeze Valley. It is a 116-Acre Event Complex located Only 10 Minutes from Downtown Nashville where kids can run around and play like kids should do. It’s very close to the city, yet it feels so much back in the time of the old west. The charm starts with the town, complete with a Telegraph Office, Livery Stable, Jail, Bank, Rattlesnake Saloon, Butterbean Stageline, Baldy's Barber Shop, and the Howling Coyote Amphitheater. Here is a list of some of the things you may do, see or hear while visiting A Cowboy Town. 
• horseback riding• Wild West Gunfights • live cowboy music • primitive camping • hiking • picnics • fishing • giant bonfires • hayrides • Campfire cookouts A morning canoe ride in Kick a Poo Lake with a beautiful sky, stillness, and the birds singing is a great way to start the day. You may decide you want to do some fishing early in the morning. You can fish for bass, blugill, brim and crappie. Maybe you just want to take a stroll around the lake. It is beautiful so bring your camera. Are you a horse lover? There horses here are beautiful and well taken care of. You can go horseback riding whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider. You will get the basic instructions about how to turn, stop and go. The horses know the path good so there is no chance of getting lost. There is a wrangler in front, behind, and in the middle of the line to aid anyone. The ride is a full hour of fun.
For safety reasons, kids under age 6 will be led around on a horse by a staff member. They will be so excited about it. Again, don’t forget your camera. You don’t want to miss getting a picture of your little one on a horse ride. It will be something they will always remember. Later, the town comes alive as the staff performs a western about the free range cattlemen vs. town folk ranchers. The story is easy to follow with lines and actions from movies that will please adults as well as children. The gunfight is surprisingly loud and action filled. Afterwards comes the dinner with great food and plenty of it. A band plays into the night with some live cowboy music.
The Wild West Show on Saturday nights is hilarious. It has a cowgirl riding on a beautiful horse shooting up the town and even kicking a big guys butt!

Adults will have a great time too. Donna’s Corner We went to visit A Cowboy Town on a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately we did not arrive in time for the gunfight but the other stuff was good. 
We chose not to ride horses, but did let our little niece be led around. That is my niece on the horse above and in the hay maze to the right. Isn’t she cute?My niece had a good time but she got tired. I think that she was a little too young for this. Kids ages 4 and above should really enjoy it. The guys went fishing but didn’t catch anything probably because they did not bring bait and couldn’t find any. The staff told them where to find some, but there wasn’t much there. If you plan to fish, you will need to bring your own fishing poles and bait. Your kids are probably going to get dirty, especially if it has been raining or if they pan for gold in the creek. You might want to take an extra pair of clothes to change them into or something to sit on in you car. Also wear comfortable shoes and clothes. All of the kids that we saw around there were having a good time, and my husband enjoyed it. I enjoyed the cowboy music and just the peaceful scenery. It was a nice afternoon. We did not go to the dinner show. My friend Glenda,her husband and daughter did a couple of weeks later. Glenda said she really liked the show, but she didn't feel safe in the canoes and that the hike up the hill stopped them from fishing. It is a good size hill to walk, but you don't have to walk a hill to get to the town. We didn't feel safe in the canoes either. If you decide to go I hope you and your family or group enjoys your time there. Return From A Cowboy Town to Great Places for Kids Return from A Cowboy Town to Welcome to Nashville
