Evergreen Cemetery (Murfreesboro, Tennessee)

Evergreen Cemetery is a 90-acre (36 ha) cemetery located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The cemetery began as a slave cemetery until its owner Dr. James Maney (the owner of Oaklands Plantation), deeded a 20-acre (8.1 ha) portion of his land to the city of Murfreesboro in 1872 to replace the "Old City Cemetery" which is located near downtown Murfreesboro. The cemetery is the final burial place for many notable people from Tennessee and the grounds are home to centuries old maple, oak and magnolia trees. Some of the trees pre-date the cemetery and a number of the headstones are more than 140 years old. Evergreen Cemetery is governed by a 34-member board of directors and its current chair is John Rucker Jr. who has served on the board for over 24 years. It is located at 519 Greenland Drive. Tours of the cemetery, presented by Oaklands Mansion, are also held each year. Confederate Circle The Confederate Circle, a mass gravesite, was established in 1890. In 1891, remains of Confederate soldiers were gathered from burial locations across the area, including the "Old Confederate Cemetery" located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Murfreesboro, and reinterred here. Some 2,000 – about 90% unnamed – soldiers, are buried in the Circle. The perimeter of the Circle is marked by stone posts bearing the names of each of the Confederate States. Individual burial markers for some of the known dead are located near the corresponding state posts. The Circle is the site of several observances and memorials throughout the year for local Sons of Confederate Veterans Camps, including Camps #33 and #1355. Notable burials John P. Buchanan (1847–1930), Governor of Tennessee 1891–93 David W. Dickinson (1808–1845), U.S. Representative Harold Earthman (1900–1987), U.S. Representative Marvin Leroy Maple (1936–2016), kidnapper of his grandchildren Mary Noailles Murfree (1850–1922), author Joseph B. Palmer (1825–1890), Confederate General Charles Ready (1802–1878), U.S. Representative James D. Richardson (1843–1914), U.S. Representative Ken Shipp (1928–2012), College and NFL coach References External links Evergreen Cemetery at Find a Grave U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Evergreen Cemetery
Franklin City Cemetery

The Franklin City Cemetery in Franklin, Tennessee, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. Four American Revolutionary War veterans are buried there. The cemetery is significant for its history of early settlers and for its funerary markers, the most unusual of which is perhaps a "treestone" one. It is across North Margin Street from Rest Haven Cemetery, also NRHP-listed in 2012. References External links Franklin City Cemetery at Find a Grave
Hale Stadium

Hale Stadium is a 10,000-seat outdoor stadium located on the campus of Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee. Built in 1953 and nicknamed "The Hole", the stadium hosted TSU Tigers football games until 1999, when home games were moved to what is now Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans. Allowing the Tigers to play their home games at the new venue was a requirement for the funding the new facility received from the State of Tennessee. After the move, Hale fell into a state of disrepair. History The facility was named for William J. Hale, who served as TSU's first president. Hale Stadium hosted a second-round NCAA Division I-AA playoff game in 1982, with the Tigers defeating Eastern Illinois University 20–19 in front of a crowd of 8,000. During its years at Hale, TSU went undefeated ten times, won ten championships in the now-defunct Midwestern Conference and claimed the Ohio Valley Conference championship in 1998, its final season in the stadium. The last Tennessee State football game at Hale Stadium before moving to LP Field was a 28–14 win over Texas Southern University on November 21, 1998. However, the facility is still used for the annual Blue-White game held at the close of the Tigers' spring practice. Renovations The stadium was renovated before the 2012 season to celebrate the university's centennial, and was reopened in time for the Tigers' game against Austin Peay. The Tigers now split their home games between Hale Stadium and Nissan Stadium. References

Harpeth River State Park

Harpeth River State Park is a state park in Cheatham and Davidson counties in the U.S. state of Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. The park is a linear park that was created to connect several state historic, natural, and archaeological sites along the lower Harpeth River. The park includes an incised meander in the river known as the Narrows of the Harpeth and its associated national historic landmark, the Montgomery Bell Tunnel. The park also includes the Mound Bottom and Mace Bluff archaeological sites, the Newsom's Mill Historic Site, the Gossett Tract State Natural Area, and a section of land at Hidden Lakes. The Montgomery Bell Tunnel is a man-made water feature in Cheatham County, Tennessee, which directs water through a tunnel at a narrow portion of an oxbow on the Harpeth River. Created in 1818 by Montgomery Bell, the 290-foot (88 m) long tunnel (state park signs at the tunnel give its length as 200 feet) was devised to power an iron-manufacturing operation known as Pattison Forge. The area is now protected as being a Tennessee state park, as well as a National Historic Landmark. References
Horace Burgess's Treehouse

Horace Burgess's Treehouse (also known as the Minister's Treehouse) was a treehouse and church in Crossville, Tennessee, United States. Construction began in 1993, mostly by Burgess, who says that, in a vision, God commanded him to build a treehouse. It became a popular local attraction and was unofficially called the largest tree house in the world. It was closed by the state on August 30, 2012, for fire code violations. On October 22, 2019, the tree house completely burned to the ground in less than 15 minutes under unknown circumstances. History and description Horace Burgess, a local minister, was praying in 1993 when he said God told him, "If you build a tree house, I'll see that you never run out of material." Inspired by the vision, Burgess began building the treehouse and continued working on it for the next 12 years. The 97-foot-tall (30 m) tree house and church was supported by a still-living 80 ft (24 m) white oak tree with a 12 ft-diameter (3.7 m) base, and relied on six other oak trees for support. He built it using 258,000 nails with a nailgun, and about 500 pounds of penny nails driven by hand. The treehouse was located on Beehive Lane in Crossville, Tennessee. Over time, Burgess' treehouse became a popular tourist attraction. Burgess officiated 23 weddings in the treehouse church, and when not in service, the sanctuary doubled as a basketball court. Although there is no Guinness World Records category for largest treehouse, it was often referred to as the world's largest. Pete Nelson, the host of Treehouse Masters on Animal Planet, who has written six books about treehouses and owns a business building them, said it was "by far" the largest in the world. In August 2012, the structure was closed to public access by the state because it had become a public attraction but did not follow building and fire safety codes. It was a "deathtrap", said one official, "it was very cool, but also very dangerous." The structure stood vacant and dilapidated for years, becoming a frequent target of vandalism. On October 22, 2019, the treehouse and its supporting trees completely burned to the ground in an inferno lasting about 15 minutes. The fire department responded; however, by the time they arrived nothing was left to save. "It was basically a pile of rubble when we pulled up. The fire was so intense we had to park 500 yards away", said an official. Fire officials said there was no electricity on site and no electric storms. The recent new owner of the treehouse, who had no insurance, declined to open an investigation. Burgess said most of the marriages he officiated there had not lasted, and that he was relieved after the fire; the treehouse had "always been a pain" he said.

Horace Burgess's Treehouse

Horace Burgess's treehouse (ook bekend als de Minister's Treehouse, vertaald 'Boomhut van de Dominee') was een boomhut en kerk in Crossville in de Amerikaanse staat Tennessee. De bouw begon in 1993, voornamelijk door Burgess die zegt een visionair gebod van God ontvangen te hebben om een boomhut te bouwen, en sindsdien is doorgegaan. De boomhut werd vervolgens een populaire lokale attractie die onofficieel de grootste boomhut ter wereld werd genoemd. De boomhut werd in 2012 gesloten door de staat in verband met schending van de brandveiligheidsvoorschriften. Op 22 oktober 2019 werd de boomhut vernietigd door een brand waarvan de oorzaak onbekend is. Geschiedenis en beschrijving Horace Burgess, een plaatselijke dominee, was in 1993 aan het bidden toen God hem zou hebben gezegd: "Als je een boomhut gaat bouwen, zorg ik dat je nooit zonder materiaal zult zitten." Geïnspireerd door het visioen, begon Burgess met de bouw van de boomhut. De 30 meter hoge boomhut rust op een nog levende 24 meter hoge witte eik met een doorsnee van bijna 4 meter. Naast deze eik wordt het bouwwerk gedragen door zes andere eiken. Wanneer de ruimte van de kerk niet als kerk in gebruik was, werd ze als basketbalzaal gebruikt. De boomhut was gelegen aan Beehive Lane in Crossville, Tennessee en groeide uit tot een populaire toeristische attractie. In augustus 2012 werd de boomhut voor het publiek gesloten door de staat, omdat hij een publiekstrekker was geworden, maar niet aan brandveiligheidsvoorschriften voldeed. Hoewel er geen categorie bestaat voor grootste boomhut bij Guinness World Records, werd hij vaak officieus aangeduid als de grootste boomhut ter wereld. Op 22 oktober 2019 werd de boomhut door een onbekende reden getroffen door een brand. De volledige constructie werd hierbij vernietigd.

Idlewild Presbyterian Church

Idlewild Presbyterian Church is a historic church located at 1750 Union Avenue in Midtown Memphis, Tennessee. Idlewild is a part of the Presbyterian Church (USA). History Founded in 1891, Idlewild grew into a prominent Memphis church over the next several decades, moving into its current building in 1928. During the Civil Rights Movement, Idlewild was one of the few churches in Memphis that held racially integrated worship services. Following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Idlewild helped found the Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association (MIFA), a community service organization that serves 50,000 people in West Tennessee annually. Idlewild ordained its first women deacons in 1968, and had a female associate minister as early as 1974. Today, three of the four ministers at Idlewild are women. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Recently Idlewild has continued its tradition of serving the community through partnerships with local schools and the More Than a Meal project, and through partnerships with local organizations that seek to promote social justice throughout the Memphis community. Idlewild is welcoming and affirming of the LGBT community, and blesses same-sex unions in its sanctuary. Steve Montgomery served as Idlewild's pastor from 2000 until 2019. After an interim period under the leadership of pastor Anne Apple, Idlewild called David Powers to serve as pastor in late 2020 During the COVID-19 pandemic, Idlewild has served as a mobile food bank distribution site for families in need in the Memphis area. Sanctuary Building Idlewild's current building was designed by George Awsumb, and it is in the Gothic Revival style. The building is similar to the nearby Rhodes College, a private liberal arts college nominally affiliated with the PC(USA). Idlewild's bell tower was completed in 1999; together the bells weigh nearly 27,000 pounds. Recently, nearby developments have incorporated design features to engage with Idlewild's architecture as a prominent feature in the neighborhood.

International Towing Museum

The International Towing & Recovery Hall of Fame & Museum, is a museum located in Chattanooga, Tennessee dedicated to the history of the towing industry. It features restored antique wreckers and equipment from the tow truck industry, as well displaying related toys, tools, equipment, and pictorial histories. Chattanooga is considered the birthplace of the U.S. towing industry. History The first tow truck was created about 3.5 miles (6 km) away from the museum at the Ernest Holmes Company in Chattanooga, in 1916. The museum started in 1986 when a group named the Friends of Towing opened the Towing Hall of Fame and Museum to recognise distinguished towing professionals in the industry, as well as starting a collection of towing memorabilia and artefacts. At this point, the museum did not have a permanent home, and was located in a trailer and toured towing shows around the country. It found its permanent home as the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum in 1995 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was dedicated in October 1995 and is a non-profit organization. Collection The collection of tow trucks at the museum ranges from the early days of the automobile and includes miscellaneous antique toys and memorabilia. The museum holds a replica of the first tow truck ever produced, made from a 1913 Cadillac. In 2026, the company Landoll donated the 40,000th trailer they produced to the museum to mark the museum's 40th anniversary. The museum is also home to the Towing Hall of Fame, and in 2006 they opened a memorial named the Wall of the Fallen, which is dedicated to those who lost their lives working in towing.

It has been home to the Lipscomb Bisons college baseball team of the NCAA's Division I ASUN Conference since 1991. The facility has a capacity of 1,500 spectators. The playing surface is named after Ken Dugan, Lipscomb baseball coach from 1960 to 1996 and winner of over 1,000 games as head of the program. The surrounding facility is named after Stephen Lee Marsh. The ballpark served as the home of the Nashville Outlaws of the collegiate summer Prospect League in 2011. History Since the late 1940s, the Lipscomb baseball team played at a field next to Belmont Boulevard, an area close to Ken Dugan Field's modern location. This field was known as Onion Dell until 1984, when it was dedicated as Ken Dugan Field. When the baseball program moved nearby to a new, $1-million facility in 1991, the name was kept. On March 17, 2005, the facility was rechristened Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium. In 2005, as part of the venue's renaming, stadium lighting was installed. In 2007, $50,000 in renovations added a warning track and an artificial turf halo around home plate. Dugan Field hosted the Atlantic Sun baseball tournament in 2010, 2011, and 2016. The Nashville Outlaws of the Prospect League played at Ken Dugan Field in 2011, after spending their inaugural 2010 season at Vanderbilt University's Hawkins Field.

Knollwood (Bearden Hill)

Knollwood is an antebellum historic house at 6411 Kingston Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. It is also known as Knollwood Hall, Major Reynolds House, the Tucker Mansion and Bearden Hill. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home and plantation were developed on land purchased from James White, the founder of Knoxville. Construction was supervised by Major Robert Reynolds' sister, Rebecca, while he was serving in the Mexican–American War. The house was completed in 1851. The home was originally built in the Federal style, but neoclassical details were added in the late 19th century. A later owner, Charles W. Griffith, added the distinctive front porch in 1919. Confederate General James Longstreet used the home as his headquarters in late 1863; he is reputed to have planned the Battle of Fort Sanders, part of the Knoxville Campaign, in the dining room. Knollwood was one of several antebellum plantations located along Kingston Pike in what was then western Knox County. Others included the Baker Peters House, Armstrong-Lockett House (Crescent Bend), Bleak House, and the Mabry Hood House (now demolished). Architecturally, Knollwood has a more significant presence than the Baker Peters House and Mabry Hood House. The Harvey Tucker family, wealthy Knoxvillians involved in the hospitality industry (i.e., Quality Courts, now part of Choice Hotels, Inc.), owned the house in the mid-to-late 20th century. Through the era when the Tucker family lived at Knollwood, the sweeping front lawn remained undeveloped. The house was known informally as the Tucker Mansion in this era. The plantation itself and the front lawn no longer exist, due to surrounding development. The mansion, itself, survives and has been renovated, but it now serves as the headquarters for Schaad Companies. It is not open to the public, but has been used by Knox Heritage for a social event.
