Kellytown is an incredible archaeological find, the ruins of a Native American village dating from the mid-1400s. It’s named for the Kelly family who once lived on the land. Situated just across Old Hickory Bou- levard from Forest Hills City Hall, it is the largest late-prehistoric town remaining in Davidson County, and one of the few intact towns of its era in the region. The village, which archaeologists and sup- porters call “Kellytown” in honor of the Kelly family who owned the property at the time of the discovery, provides an incredibly de- tailed picture of Native American life during the Mississippian Period (about A.D. 900 to 1500).
