Go inside the Capitol and take the free tour. There's lots to see at this National Historic Landmark. The park, a stroller's paradise, features fountains, clarion bells, an amphitheater, the walkway of history, and the World War Two Memorial. It was the center of the civil rights movement here in Nashville during the Sixties. There are several memorials here to the Tennesseans who fought and died in America's wars.
Admission is free and the exhibits are very educational and informative.
This was the headquarters in 1920 for those who wanted women to have the right to vote and for those who didn't. This state's vote to ratify the 19th Amendment gave women across the country the right to vote. Southward further still is Church Street, site of several architecturally significant commercial buildings, some recently renovated for modern use. Across the street is the new library, opening in 2001. The church, however, is one of the finest examples of Egyptian Revival architecture anywhere, especially the interior.
