The Conservancy for the Parthenon and Centennial Park is an organization committed to preserving and promoting the legacy of Nashville's Parthenon and Centennial Park. The Parthenon is a full-scale replica of the original Greek temple that was built in Nashville's Centennial Park in 1897 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Tennessee's entry into the Union. The Parthenon houses a 42-foot-tall statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, which makes it the largest indoor sculpture in the Western Hemisphere.

Centennial Park, located adjacent to the Parthenon, is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. It covers 132 acres and features a 1.75-mile walking/jogging path, a lake, a sunken garden, and an arboretum. The park also features a number of other attractions, including an amphitheater, a band shell, a number of monuments and sculptures, and the iconic Parthenon.

The Conservancy for the Parthenon and Centennial Park was established in 1997 to preserve and promote the legacy of Nashville's Parthenon and Centennial Park. Its mission is to promote a better understanding of the Parthenon and Centennial Park, to increase appreciation and use of the park, and to provide education and outreach programs to the public. The organization also works to ensure that the park is well-maintained and to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for park visitors. Through its work, the Conservancy helps to preserve Nashville's Parthenon and Centennial Park for generations to come.

Frankie Pierce Mural - Nashville, TN This mural to local activist Frankie Pierce is in Nashville's new park near downtown which is also named after her. This is painted on the side of a retaining wall for where CSX tracks have a bridge over Nelson Merry St. The mural includes this quote: "We are optimistic because we have faith in the best of the country, of Nashville" - Frankie Pierce (May 1920) Here is the description of Frankie Pierce from a nearby marker: Juno Frankie (Seay) Pierce was born in Nashville near the end or just after the Civil War. Pierce was educated at the Joseph G. McKee Freedman School, the first free African American school in Nashville, and at Roger Williams College, one of four freedman's colleges in the city. She was a member of the nearby First Baptist Colored Church, now First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill. Frankie Pierce worked throughout her life for equality and human dignity, leading the creation of black branches of the YWCA and the Red Cross, and championing the Tennessee Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the Negro Voters League and other civic groups. On May 18, 1920, Pierce was the only African American to address the state woman's suffrage convention. She presented a poignant defense of racial and gender equality, drawing on the common bonds formed by women's service organizations during World War One. On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving American women the right to vote. African American women and other women of color were still often excluded from having full voting rights and were not fully enfranchised until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Later, Pierce and the League of Women Voters successfully secured state funds to open the Tennessee Vocational School for Colored Girls in North Nashville, where she served as superintendent until 1939. Pierce remained an impactful activist and advocate until her death in 1954.
