4.5Athena Statue(659 reviews) - Incredible statue and one of a kind experience. Sunday: 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM Monuments & Statues
We were in Nashville for a work conference. On our last day in town, we had time to go to see the Parthenon. That was exciting in itself, but I had no idea we would encounter such a beautiful sight inside of the statue of Athena. She stand over 42 feet tall in her own large room. the top of her head nearly touches the beautiful skylights above. She stands on a 8 foot tall platform making the view even more impressive. For a height comparison, she is holding a 6 foot tall statue of Nike in the palm of her hand. There is room in front of her to hold at least 200 people to observe. You can also walk all the way around her to view the ornate shield she is holding and read the informative signs of the history and the myth. It is an amazing experience and this alone is worth the $10 admission to get in. Very highly recommended, a don't miss it experience.See more..
4.0Statue of Elvis(614 reviews) - Thank ya.....thank ya very much. Monuments & Statues
We saw this statue on the way from the trolley stop near Beale and I had to take a photo. I was directed by a panhandler as to the proper place to stand to get this shot- I'm not kidding. The panhandler was a poet and quoted us some poetry, so we helped him a little.See more..

4.5Meriwether Lewis Park and Monument(63 reviews) - Worth the short visit Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Cemeteries • Monuments & Statues
As a fan of Lewis & Clark, I made it a priority to visit this place during a recent trip to Nashville. Located about an hour away from Nashville, this spot is worth the short visit. You can walk part of the old Natchez Trace and learn about its history. There's also ample signage about Lewis and the untimely demise that occurred there. The monument itself is located in a large field where other pioneers are buried. There are no headstones over their graves, but there are flat markers located in the field. Many are overgrown with grass, so you can step on them by mistake if you're not careful. The monument for Lewis is in very good shape and the significance of the broken column is a bit sobering.See more..

4.0Confederate Monument(14 reviews) - Veterans Memorial on the Square Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Monuments & Statues
I drove a little out of my way to see this statue. It pretty much looks like every other confederate statue I’ve seen in other small towns in the south. The more interesting part is the fact that it is one more memorial in the midst of many. Other war memorials are on the square. Ones that reflect on the sacrifices made for the United States. But the biggest one is definitely standing on the corner representing the secessionists. Across the street is a cool mural. Picture connected.See more..
We enjoyed a visit to the Captain Jeff Kuss USMC Memorial on a sunny, blue sky day. The sleek Blue Angels plane is a dramatic centerpiece to the memorial. We were happy to spend time for the worthwhile visit. Our only problem was parking and walking to the memorial. Some construction seemed to interfere with parking for a closer walk, so we ended up parking at the park next door and walking across the grassy lawn to the memorial.See more..

4.5Shrine of Our Lady Virgin of the Poor(8 reviews) - Sweet and humble place to visit Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Monuments & Statues
I never get tired of visiting. A wonderful, peaceful, simple, humble and beautiful place. Love the scenic drive and nick-a-jack lake nearby.

Best of all, our Lady, Queen of Heaven and the mother of us all), is there and little slips of prayer requests are deposited at the base of Her Holy Statue. Be sure to read the interesting story of how this holy place came to be.See more..
My husband & I were on our way to tour the distillery. As soon as we came into Trimble, on the hill, what a presence the monument & flag has!!! We were instantly drawn & had to stop. The wind was blowing, so it was a little chilly for me. I took as many pictures as I could & I had to get back in the car. It was worth the stop. They accept donations & offer a CD - “ The Truth Concerning the Confederate Flag. “ We haven’t listened to it as of yet. Off behind the memorial is a cemetery where a lot of soldiers are buried.

5.0Moore County Confederate Memorial(1 review) - A simple, white memorial Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
Erected in 1927, this simple, white memorial is a tribute to those Confederate soldiers who died during the American Civil War. If you are in Lynchburg, it is worth having a look at. It is easy to find as it is situated on a corner outside the Moore County Courthouse. At the same time you could also have a look at the Moore County Veterans War Memorial (on the opposite corner) and a beautiful eagle chainsaw carving (on the opposite side of the Courthouse to where you are now standing).See more..
The Moore Count Veterans War Memorial, situated adjacent to the historic Moore Count Courthouse in Lynchburg, Tennessee, is a simple, yet beautiful, well-maintained memorial. Dedicated on 25 May 1882, the broken column represents the persons who have died and that all earthly ties with them are broken. The words "We cannot forget, we must not forget, we dare not forget" were inspired by a Lynchburg resident while "the last full measure of devotion" was said by President Abraham Lincoln on 19 November 1863, when he gave the Gettysburg Address.See more..
