The Parthenon? In Tennessee? You Betcha!
Yep, you read that right. Nashville boasts the only full-scale replica of the Athenian Parthenon in the entire world. Built in 1897 for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, this architectural marvel wasn't intended to be permanent. But hey, they liked it so much they just kept it! Now it houses a badass art museum with a 42-foot statue of Athena herself. So next time you're arguing with your buddy about who has the better Parthenon, you can just say, "Hold my sweet tea, Athens!"
