The Parthenon (Nashville)

Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama

My kids and I have never been to Greece, but we can say we visited The Parthenon — in Nashville near the Vanderbilt University campus. This incredible structure is a full-scale replica of the original and was built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. You might recognize it from the movie The Lightening Thief as they used to to film many of the scenes here. Unfortunately, we got there too late to go inside, but do check it out; It's a quick stop and it’s pretty interesting, especially if you’re like us and not sure when you’ll be getting to Greece.
