Directions to Butterfly Hollow

From Nashville
From Nashville, follow I-40 East to Exit 254. Turn right at the top of the exit ramp towards Alexandria. Drive 100 ft and turn left onto Colonel Bernie S Bass Hwy (Highway 141/53 North). You’ll drive a short mile through the unincorporated community of New Middleton and take the first road on your left, which is Mulherrin Road. Look for the white fence around a red brick home. If you cross the Woodrow Wilson Winfree Bridge or the New Middleton Elementary School, you’ve passed the road. Drive 1 3/4 miles on Mulherrin Road back under the interstate and through some beautiful farm country. You’ll make your way up a small hill and around a sharp “blind” curve, cross a small bridge and a few feet later turn right on to Dyers Branch Road. Look for the red barn with two small steel silos on the corner. Drive exactly 2 miles and turn right onto Bussell Lane. There is a wooden butterfly hanging on a post next to the road sign and a white house with black shutters on the corner when you turn. You’ll drive through our neighbor’s farm, probably will be escorted by a friendly dog part of the way. You’ll pass an aging barn or two. As you wind your way into the hollow the road will narrow a little more, the forest will slowly engulf you as you make your way to our gate and Butterfly Hollow sign.
