Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park – Native history interpretation

Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in downtown Nashville includes interpretive panels and monuments that explain Tennessee's history, including the pre-contact Native American presence and the 19th-century Cherokee removal commonly called the Trail of Tears. The park's markers and nearby exhibits place indigenous history in the context of state development and routes through the Nashville area. The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail is documented by the National Park Service as passing through the region around Nashville.
