The Parthenon - Nashville, Tennessee
The Parthenon in Nashville was created for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition in 1897 and today stands as the centerpiece of Centennial Park. Nashville's Parthenon is a full-scale replica of the original in Athens, as it looked upon completion in 438 B.C. The building reinforces Nashville's nickname, "Athens of the South," and includes a re-creation of the Athena Parthenos statue, which stands 41' 10" tall.
Dear Lynn,
Good to hear from you electronically. Our recent trip took us right to this view.
