The park which is located on the north side of the State Capital Building was built in celebration of the Tennessee Bicentennial which occurred on June 1, 1996. The 200-foot granite state map below the bridge features the major roadways, rivers, railroads, and prominent cities within the state.
Not only known as Music City, USA, Nashville served as a major junction for the Louisville and Nashville, Tennessee Central, and Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis as well as through service for a host of other railroads.
