This museum is two fold: First, it honors the 41st…read moreGovernor of Tennessee Frank G Clement who is from the town of Dickson. He was Governor for 10 years, which at the time was the longest of any 20th century Governor. Second, it shows us what a railroad hotel looked like back in the 1920's. Where else can you find that? Clement was literally born in this hotel, which is how those two things came together, and it's an interesting mix of railroad history and memorabilia, political memorabilia and photos, and other interesting historical aspects of this little hamlet in Middle Tennessee. It's nice to see that some small towns still maintain their individuality and show some unique perspective where not every business has to be a chain, and not every attraction has to include a Starbucks in the lobby. If you decide to take a drive and visit, I also recommend you stroll around the corner either direction for a bite at either Lugo's on Main Street or The Front Porch on Center Avenue. Dickson is striving to invigorate it's Main Street similar to so many small towns in the area, but what's nice about their version is there's not a chain store in sight anywhere downtown. I am from here, but live in Franklin now, and even our award-winning Main Street has a Starbucks. Here's it's House Blend for coffee not too far away. So if you're interested in trains, or interested in historic hotels, or interested in railroad life, or interested in the history of the Democratic party in Tennessee... go spend a few hours here.

I have visited the original La Tour Eiffel in Paris France (oddly, I didn't review it), plus…read morereplicas in Paris Texas*, Paris Illinois, and the half-scale version at Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino**. I have also passed through Paris Missouri and New Paris Ohio, but no Eiffel Towers spotted in either. The Eiffel Tower in Paris Tennessee is a 70-foot tall 1:20 scale replica. It was originally built in 1990 by engineering students at Christian Brothers University in Memphis for the Memphis in May festival, which honored France that year. Using Gustave Eiffel's original drawings, they crafted the tower from 500 pieces of Douglas fir and 6,000 steel rods, donating over 10,000 hours of labor. When the wooden structure began to wear down, local craftsman Keith Jackson rebuilt it in steel in 2002. Today it stands proudly here in Eiffel Tower Park, surrounded by walking trails, a splash pad, a disc golf course, and more. Bienvenue à Paris, y'all. Enjoy the view from the ground. There is no going up this Eiffel Tower. [Round number review 26300 overall - 1121 of 2026 - 626 in Tennessee] * The Eiffel Tower in Paris Texas is 65 feet tall, including its cowboy hat. ** The Las Vegas replica reaches 540 feet.

It is small but nonetheless quite moving. In addition to being the resting place for two Cherokee leaders it was also a winter camp and ration stop along the Trail of Tears and there are benches along the path around the former camp area to take in the surroundings. I highly recommend taking time out to visit this important landmark.

I have visited multiple Civil War sites and one thing that never ceases to amaze me is how tranquil these places are, yet on December 19, 1862, that tranquility was shattered when approximately one thousand men engaged in a two hour battle. We need to remember these moments in history, we need to remember the footsteps that led us to today. Again, I am always surprised at the tranquility of these Civil War battle sites. It is almost like the land is saying that it knew violence and now only embraces peace and tranquility. I am better for finding this spot and am grateful that I was able to pay my respects to those who fell on that fateful day back in 1862. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend you come here. Pay your respects and learn of the footsteps that led us to the world we stand in today. I give this a rating of five stars and again, I would definitely recommend a visit here.
