]]>Mausoleum of Adelicia Hayes Franklin Acklen Cheatham

"Adelicia Acklen was a resourceful and shrewd business woman who was not defeated by the Civil War. She was born in Nashville and was the daughter of one of the city's most highly educated men, Oliver Bliss Hayes, who had moved to the city from Massachusetts. As a child, Adelicia was required to learn 5 languages.

Adelicia Hayes' first marriage was to Isaac Franklin, a wealthy, 50 year old bachelor from Gallatin, Tennessee, who owned 6 cotton plantations in Louisiana and more than 600 slaves. The Franklins had 4 children, but all of them died before reaching the age of 14. Franklin only lived seven years after their marriage; with his death Adelicia became the wealthiest woman in the United States, with much land as well as money.

Adelicia Acklen is best known for her home in Nashville, the Belmont Mansion. Belmont was built as a summer home and patterned after an Italian villa. The extensive grounds and gardens included a zoo with a glass enclosed bird house for exotic birds from all over the world, a bowling alley, and a water tower. Belmont had running water throughout the house before the White House in Washington."

Rutledge Falls Sculpture "Night" II

jefferyjohnson@photocapturesbyjeffery.com (Photo Captures by Jeffery) — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>This sculpture is located at the top over looking Rutledge Falls near two main trail access points.

Morning, Noon and Night were life sized sculptures originally created to stand alongside large glass and iron lanterns that stood on the North and South ends of the Tennessee State Capital. In 1958 they were removed and all but the current statue, Night, that is located at Rutledge Falls is buried some where on the grounds of the Ellington Agricultural Center. The sculptures were cast 100 years, cast by Wood and Perrot in Philadelphia, prior to their removal and burial. The sculpture,Night, was saved by Lyndon B. "Pop" Jennings from being buried and is at her current location at Rutledge Falls.

Battle of Nashville Monument Young Man

jefferyjohnson@photocapturesbyjeffery.com (Photo Captures by Jeffery) — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

]]>The Battle of Nashville Monument, which honors the sacrifices of both Confederate and Union soldiers at the December 15-16, 1864 Battle of Nashville and the American soldiers who fought in World War I, was originally created in 1927 by Giuseppe Moretti, who was commissioned by the Ladies Battlefield Association.

After being almost completely destroyed by a tornado on March 31, 1974 and do to interstate construction in the early 1980's monies were allocated by the Department of Transportation for relocation.

The Tennessee Historical Commission in the early 1980's appointed a committee to restore and relocate the monument. Not until 1992 from the recommendation of Pam Garrett the chair of the Markers and Monuments Committee did it get fully restored and relocated on the 2.5 acre tract of land at the intersection of Granny White Pike and Battlefield Drive.

On 1999, a re-dedication of the refurbished Battle of Nashville Monument took place at its new location. The bronze sculpture of the young man and horses were refinished and sculptor Coley Coleman sculpted the new marble base, obelisk and angel out of granite as it is more durable than the original marble.
