Tennessee State Capitol (National Historic Landmark) · Downtown Nashville historic core · Union Station Nashville Yards (1900 former rail terminal)
AmeriGhost Tours (amerighost.com) launched in Nashville in 2003 as a family-run operation, later expanding to Louisville (2008), Washington DC, and Orlando (2020). The Nashville program is the company's original and longest-running, built around a costumed, lantern-led walking tour of downtown landmarks including the Tennessee State Capitol, the Ryman Auditorium, and Printer's Alley. The operator later added a guided tavern crawl and a riding tour in a converted hearse departing from Union Station Nashville Yards.
The walking tour's route runs through Nashville's historic downtown core, including the Tennessee State Capitol (completed 1859, a National Historic Landmark) and the Ryman Auditorium (built 1892 as the Union Gospel Tabernacle, later home to the Grand Ole Opry). Union Station Nashville Yards occupies the 1900 former Nashville terminal station, a Richardsonian Romanesque landmark converted to a hotel.

The Haunted Downtown Nashville Tour presents ghost stories tied to the Tennessee State Capitol grounds (including the nearby tomb of President James K. Polk), the Ryman Auditorium, and the Printer's Alley entertainment district, framed by guides in Victorian costume carrying lanterns. The Nashville Haunted Hearse Tour covers a different set of stops from the seat of a converted hearse, including Union Station, Nashville City Cemetery (billed by the operator as the city's oldest burial ground), and a property the operator calls the Savage house.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
