Minnie Pearl Made Out of Chicken Wire I believe this is an amazing piece of Southern country culture. Ifrst, it's part of the legacy of how the town of Centerville has honored the local legacy. But it's also from a local artist using a rare art form and it appears in a quaint location. The story begins with this statue from 2005: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/h243t" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/p/h243t</a> Unhappy with the way city leaders treated the town square traffic leading to the statue, it was moved several times. The city fixed town square traffic and in 2016 then commissioned this chicken wire statue to placed in the same spot as the first. Recently, a more traditional statue was placed on the square: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2pvxXxq" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/p/2pvxXxq</a> The Chicken wire statue needed a new home. A local garden club had the perfect spot. On the east side of town where highway 100/48 cross the Duck River, there's an intersection with the old highway runs between a rock bluff and the river. At that intersection is the Centerville Bluff Garden and this art has been moved to a natural ledge halfway up the bluff.

He intended to make more or Pearl, but the project was unfunded. However, he was commissioned to make a Dolly Parton out of Chicken Wire for the Graduate Hotel in Nashville.

I Will Give My All For Tennessee Today! Barn This barn celebrating the UT Vols and their motto was found in Dickson County, TN. It's located along Hickman Road close to where it crosses I-840, but I've also geotagged it. This appears to be a fan barn and unaffiliated with the "Everywhere You Look, UT" barn painting program which seems to paint a barn in every Tennessee County.
It's Pronounced "Santa Fee" When you're in Tennessee, the town of Santa Fe is pronounced different than the way they do it in New Mexico. I suppose this is a little tongue-in-cheek because most visitors to the area probably get it wrong. This is found at Kindred Farm along highway TN247 a couple of miles Southwest of Santa Fe in Maury County.
Old Chisson’s Mill Bridge (Perry County, Tennessee) Abandoned Chisson’s Mill Bridge over the Buffalo River near Lobelville in Perry County, Tennessee. The bridge was constructed in 1904 by the Vincennes Bridge Company with a pin-connected Camelback through truss main span and four pin-connected Pratt pony truss approach spans (the two on the North approach have been removed). The bridge was later referred to as the "Mill Bridge". The bridge was closed to traffic in 1962, the deck was removed and it was left in place as a "historic ruin". The Chisson’s Mill Bridge history is described in the 2008 TDOT publication "Tennessee’s SURVEY REPORT for Historic Highway Bridges".
