I took Ann and Mary with me to visit the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee. We went to the Parthenon, which is a full scale, completely restored replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The replica was put up as a temporary structure for the Centennial Expo in the 1800's. A few years later, the city decided to keep the structure because the are known as the Athens of the South. Inside the Parthenon there is an art museum and replicas of the statues that are found on the Acropolis in Greece.
The latitude and longitude of the Parthenon was 36 degrees 8.8 minutes North, 86 degrees 48.6 minutes west.
We traveled 408 miles total from Carbondale to Nashville and back.
