Things to Do in Donelson, Nashville Nashville's mid-century east-side suburb between the Cumberland River and the airport. Two Rivers Mansion and its park preserve plantation-era history, while Lebanon Pike's diners, Music Valley venues, and neighborhood greenways give Donelson a self-contained identity beyond downtown's honky-tonks.
