Sevierville, Tennessee

Here, Near, and Far:  The covered bridge is not here.  It is nearby, though:  400 yards south.  And, if you are intrigued enough by the text, you might follow the trail downhill to see a bit of history.  Actually, there is precious little information about the the bridge's history on this marker; mostly glorifies the DAR.  [2009]

Brentwood, Tennessee

Under Local Authority:  It's a long and peripatetic history as outlined by the Brentwood Historical Commission and the Pep Club!  Historical markers are meant to pump up the masses and make them proud of superlative achievements like being the largest church in the Tennessee Conference.  [2010]

Nashville, Tennessee

Be Grateful for Graphic Elements:  The graphic element on this marker is a front elevation.  It helps us envision Jefferson Street past so much better than words ever could.   "Razed":  a simple and emotionally evocative concept.  Now, look at what a magnificent structure replaced the Heiman House!  [2009]

Nashville, Tennessee

Places, People, and Events:  Using historical markers, we commemorate events as the engines of history.  It should come as no surprise that this marker is in Nashville, the country music capital of the world.  The Ryman Auditorium provides the backdrop.  [2009]
