Stretching 19 acres just north of the State Capitol, the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park commemorates Tennessee's 200th anniversary of statehood. The park features a 200-foot granite map of the state, a World War II Memorial, and a 95-bell carillon that plays a Tennessee waltz melody on the hour.
The park opened on June 1, 1996, Tennessee's bicentennial year. It was designed to transform a blighted area north of the Capitol into a civic gathering space and living history lesson.
