Visiting Bicentennial Mall

While we were in downtown Nashville on Saturday, we went to the Bicentennial Mall - which incidentally is a park that was created to celebrate Tennessee's 200 year birthday. We saw lots of people walking and running so I imagine that it's a place that people exercise at.


This is a view of the Capitol building.

I'm pointing to the county we live in, Wilson County.

Here's a closer view of the Capitol building.


Barry's by our town on the huge map of Tennessee.


Here's the map legend. One foot equals about 2 1/2 miles.


It was pretty cool to walk around the park and see the various of things that they had about the state and the history of it. There was a wall all along one side that had points in Tennessee's history cut into it. There was also a WWII memorial and a very cool bell display with 96 bells for each of the counties. We learned a lot.
