Best History Crash Course

When it isn’t playing host to music festivals and vintage baseball games, Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park provides the definitive walking tour of Tennessee and its history. A marble wall stretching the length of the park lists statewide milestones from the dawn of time to the 1990s. Additional highlights include a massive stone map of Tennessee, county-by-county info markers and a carillon that plays “Tennessee Waltz” on the hour. The park is also near the food booths at the Market House at the Nashville Farmers’ Market, along with the new Tennessee State Museum, making a daylong Tri-Star trek easier than ever. MATT FOX
