TTU Eagle Statue at the Walton House Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville has a mascot of the Golden Eagles. The President's residence is known as the Walton House and this eagle statue is in front of it.
Putnam County Courthouse and Veterans Memorial The grounds of the Putnam County Courthouse changed in 2022 as a new Veterans memorial and Eternal Flame were added to the Southern Side. These were dedicated on Memorial Day 2022. It's also the first memorial I've seen anywhere which honors the new 2019 U.S. Space Force branch of the military.
Cookeville's New Eternal Flame Located on the grounds of the Putnam County Courthouse, the new eternal flame honoring POW-MIA was dedicated on Memorial Day 2022.
Autumn on Brotherton Mountain I'm not sure if there's actually a Brotherton Mountain, but this view was seen along Brotherton Mountain Road which runs between Cookeville and Monterey in Putnam County, TN. The train tracks are operational but not used often. The line was originally created by Tennessee Central in a failed effort to connect Nashville to Knoxville, but they never got too far past Monterey. The tracks currently belong to Nashville & Eastern Railroad (NERR), a short line owned by RJ Corman.
