Cheekwood: A Masterpiece by Man & Nature | NPT
It’s a house built between two world wars, a house intimately connected to its landscape, a showplace, yet a private home. Completed in 1932, Cheekwood embraced the latest technology, but was designed to look old. Despite its innovative engineering, it was an anachronism almost as soon as it was built- during the last gasps of a brief era in American architectural history. Yet Cheekwood survives for public enjoyment as one of the few complete examples of the American Country Place Era, a magnificent blend of architecture, landscape and interior design.

Parthenon - Nashville Tennessee
The Parthenon - Nashville
The Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens. It was designed by Confederate veteran William Crawford Smith and built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. Today the Parthenon, which functions as an art museum, stands as the centerpiece of Centennial Park, a large public park just west of downtown Nashville. Alan LeQuire's 1990 re-creation of the Athena Parthenos statue is the focus of the Parthenon just as it was in ancient Greece. The statue of Athena Parthenos within is a reconstruction of the long-lost original to careful scholarly standards: she is cuirassed and helmeted, carries a shield on her left arm and a small 6-foot-high (1.8 m) statue of Nike (Victory) in her right palm, and stands 42 feet (13 m) high, gilt with more than 8 pounds (3.6 kg) of gold leaf; an equally colossal serpent rears its head between her and her shield. Since the building is complete and its decorations were polychromed (painted in colors) as close to the presumed original as possible, this replica of the original Parthenon in Athens serves as a monument to what is considered the pinnacle of classical architecture.

Tennessee (Nashville and Chattanooga) - Vlog 16
It’s Throwback Thursday and we have, well, a throwback travel vlog of course! (yeah I know we do Flashback Friday, but between you and me…they’re the same thing…shhh)
This week we’re going back to last summer when we went on a spontaneous road trip to Nashville, Tennessee! We literally picked to go there the day before, packed and got the hell out of New York.
It was the first time I drove for awhile and all night, so it really took a toll on us by the time we got there. Slept the whole first day. Haha
So let’s see…we went to a ton of places! In Nashville we went to the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, Parthenon Replica (where they filmed a scene from Percy Jackson), Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art and the Lane Motor Museum.
Then we went to the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg. They have their own little county there that is actually a dry county, which means that the whisky isn’t available for consumption in any of the stores or food places within it. (They have whisky-flavored desserts though!)
We took a long drive down to the border of Alabama and Georgia to check out Lookout Mountain and Ruby Falls in Chattanooga. (Fun fact: it’s said or was said that you can see 7 states from there – Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama) There’s also some Civil War history behind the mountain, but you can look that up if you’re interested. Anyways, in order to see Ruby Falls you have to go 1,120 feet underground in an elevator…that’s as high as the Empire State Building! But it’s pretty cool there’s a 145-foot waterfall underground. Crazy.
Another attraction on Lookout Mountain is the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, one of the steepest passenger railways in the world! I’m completely terrified of heights but I love trains so I couldn’t help but go. But holy crap is it steep and on a cable…
Lastly, we went to Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville where the Confederates stored and made their ammo. There’s also an underground mountain inside it that you can climb! Also there’s a chandelier from the Lowes Metropolitan Theater in Brooklyn from the 1920s. They call it “The Grand Lady of the Volcano Room.” You can also take different tours where you can get down and dirty climbing through the caverns.
Geez I wrote so much! Well goes to show that Tennessee was AWESOME! :)
