Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park
A long, narrow state park north of the Capitol. A giant map of Tennessee, a 95-bell carillon, and a World War II memorial form an outdoor history lesson.
Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park was built in 1996 to mark the 200th anniversary of Tennessee's statehood. It extends about 800 meters north from the foot of the Capitol hill. The park features a granite relief map of Tennessee, a long wall called the “Path of History” inscribed with the state's historical timeline, and a carillon tower with 95 bells representing the state's 95 counties. The carillon plays “The Tennessee Waltz” on the hour. There is also a World War II memorial and fountains. Admission is free. The park borders the Nashville Farmers' Market and the Tennessee State Museum.
