Eversong is located at Stone Hall which became a Nashville park in 2007. Here is the story from a marker:
Eversong was moved here by Dempsey Weaver Cantrell from Williamson County in the 1930s. If it had been at its present location overlooking the Stones River in the early 1800s, Eversong would have provided a view of Andrew Jackson's racetrack, store, and tavern just across the river. Dempsey's wife Nora, who was poet laureate of Tennessee and called her poems "songs," said that when she went down to the cabin by the river she "ever had a song in her heart," so she called it Eversong.
