This is another view of the Grist Mill I posted I posted a while back.
Historic Cannonsburgh Village represents approximately 100 years of early Tennessee life from the 1830s to the 1930s. Within the village is a grist mill, school house, telephone operator's house, the University House, the Leeman House, a museum, a caboose, the Wedding Chapel, a doctor's office, a general store, a blacksmith's shop, a well, and other points of pioneering interest.

Easier said than done.
Planning my exit from a 27 yr marriage was taxing.
Packing to leave w/ verbal abuse... even more.
Still..I left feeling jubilant & excited for my future.
And surprised how much it hurts.
I'm only human , after all...

Stones River National Battlefield is, historically, the site on which the Union Army of the Cumberland under General William S. Rosecrans met the Army of the Tennessee commanded by General Braxton Bragg. On December 30, 1862, the Union forces massed west of Murfreesboro and planned their attack on the city. The Confederate forces were prepared on the morning of December 31, 1862; they surprised the Union forces with a heavy attack at the southern end of the Union line. The Union line was thrown back to the Nashville Pike. The battle raged for three days while the Union forces held their ground and the Rebel forces retreated southward. The bloody battle cost both armies 23,000 casualties and was recorded as the bloodiest battle fought west of the Appalachians during the Civil War. The battle was the beginning of the Union drive to cut the Confederacy in half. Although the battle was fought over a 3,700-acre area, Stones River is comprised of the 351 acres of ground where the hardest fighting occurred and where Stones River National Cemetery was established in 1865 and Hazen's Monument was erected in 1863. The National Cemetery contains the bodies of all Union soldiers known & unknown that were found in & around the battlefield. It also contains Union dead from battles such as Franklin, Spring Hill and small skirmishes along the Nashville and Decatur Railroad. Today the cemetery is the final resting place for soldiers of all wars since the Civil War.
Erected in 1863 the Hazen Brigade Monument may be the oldest Civil War Monument anywhere. It honors not only those members of the brigade that died at Stones River, but also those who fell at Shiloh in 1862 and Chickamauga-Chattanooga in the fall of 1863.
The Stones River National Battlefield was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on October 15, 1966. All the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here: npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/b58b0f4e-70a8-4476-acd...

The Walter Hill Hydroelectric Station is located in Rutherford County on the East Fork of the Stones River. The site is accessed via a 200 foot gravel road just off U.S. Highway 231, ½ mile south of Walter Hill, and approximately six miles north of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The dam is a concrete gravity structure approximately 15 feet high and 250 feet long with an overflow spillway section approximately 180 feet long. The steel reinforced concrete foundation supports a brick powerhouse, approximately 18 feet by 24 feet, located on the right (north) side of the Stones River. It originally housed a 192-kW vertical turbine and generator. The turbine intake consists of three openings, five feet wide in the powerhouse headwall which were controlled by three slide gates. The dam and power house were considered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) "to be in good condition considering the age of the project."
Although a conundrum exists concerning the exact date, 1912 appears to be the most likely year for the construction of a small power station built by the Murfreesboro Light and Power Company at Walter Hill, on the East Fork of the Stones River, previously a mill site since 1804. After a flood in 1918 damaged the dam the Southern Cities Power Company purchased the site and built the extant power station soon thereafter. In 1926 the property was transferred to the Commonwealth Southern River Company. Power continued to be produced at the Walter Hill site until 1934 when a subsidiary of Commonwealth Southern River, Murfreesboro Light and Power, shut down the generator. The year 1939 marked the acquisition of the property by the TVA, which continued to produce power until September 26, 1940 when the site was sold to the City of Murfreesboro. It then ceased producing electricity in 1941. The site is currently leased by the City of Murfreesboro to the Tennessee Highway Department which manages it as roadside park.
On November 7, 1990, the Walter Hill Hydroelectric Station was determined to be significant under the National Register of Historic Places criteria C for engineering because it represents the kind of hydroelectric engineering projects typical at the time of its construction on the smaller rivers of the State of Tennessee. Its design and size, while not unique among its class in the Volunteer State, display the characteristic vertical emphasis of what can be called "early hydro-style". It provided the electric needs of the town Murfreesboro and the surrounding areas until 1941 when it ceased operation. This station is likewise significant under National Register criteria A for commerce as it represents a change in the business of trading, commerce, services and commodities, and the gradual introduction of electricity into everyday human existence during the early twentieth century in Tennessee.

It was a little difficult getting a shot of the mill due to chairs set up for a wedding that was scheduled later in the day. This was a very interesting place to visit.

The first Murfreesboro courthouse was erected on the present site on the public square in 1812. Although no description of the building is available, it evidently was not very substantial, as in March, 1818, the court appointed commissioners to have it repaired or improved. In 1822, while Murfreesboro was the Capital of Tennessee, the courthouse burned. A commission was appointed by the legislature to supervise the erection of a new courthouse which was of brick and constructed at a cost of approximately $6,000. In January, 1859, a committee was appointed to investigate the necessity of building a new courthouse. After careful investigation, the committee reported that a new building was an absolute necessity and the present building (seen in part above) was constructed in 1859 at a cost of $50,000. This is the octagonal dome/clock tower crowning the cupola on the top of this version of the Rutherford County Courthouse.
Probably the most exciting day which the building has witnessed was July 13, 1862, when the Confederate Cavalry leader, General Nathan Bedford Forrest, recaptured the courthouse from Federal occupation and rescued several Confederate prisoners who had been sentenced to hang. Evidences of the impact of mini-balls may still be seen in some of the brick of the courthouse walls.
The significance of the courthouse that results in its listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) lies more in its site than the quality of its architecture. Murfreesboro was originally designed as a courthouse town. On a regular grid, a smaller central square was imposed to accommodate the administrative structure. This isolated island became the heart of the new town from the time of the construction of the first.courthouse. The current building, by its imposing height and great solidity, provides a very real visual focus to the older central section of Murfreesboro, as the original town planners & the designers of the current structure intended. It is as symbolic as it is functional. It dignifies & marks the town as the regional center of justice & administration. It is an integral part of the fabric of Murfreesboro and no twentieth century structure could fill the shoes of this somewhat battered nineteenth century monument on its intended nineteenth century site.
This courthouse was added to the NRHP on July 16, 1973. All the information above can be found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration found here:

Although not the typical barn with the See Rock City slogan on it, this silo faintly bears the "See Rock City" painting and "Take U.S. 41" as directions for passer-byer's to see. This silo is located on Highway 231 just North of U.S. 41. Originally painted by Clark Byers, just as the barns were, I suspect that this silo fell victim to the highway beautification movement of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency and legislation nicknamed the “Ladybird Act”. Unfortunately, this idea thought roadside signs were more of an eyesore than an icon and many of Rock City’s rooftop (or silo) messages had to be removed or painted over. Thankfully, this one has re-emerged over time and continues to be visible.

"[These were] men who had given their lives for the country ..., and now sleep beneath the green sod of our beautiful cemetery, on the immortal field of Stone's River."
When Chaplain William Earnshaw, the first Superintendent of Stones River National Cemetery, wrote these words, he and the 111th United States Colored Infantry were nearing the end of nearly a year of locating and reburying Union soldiers from the battlefield, Murfreesboro, and the surrounding area. They began the work in October 1865. Today, more than 6,100 Union soldiers are buried in Stones River National Cemetery. Of these, 2,562 are unknown. Nearly 1,000 veterans, and some family members, who served in the century since the Civil War are also interred there. Although the cemetery is often thought of as a separate entity, it was consolidated with Stones River National Battlefield by an Act of Congress in 1927 and is administered by the National Park Service. The National Cemetery is also included in the Stones River National Battlefield listing on the National Register of Historic Places as of October 15, 1966.

I found this cool, old sign in Murfreesboro, TN while visiting a couple of weeks ago with the family during Spring Break. It is for GE Major Appliances and has a third section that was probably for the name if the local business. But...the coolest part is the big arrow with all the light bulbs! I bet it was great looking back in the day...

"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . in her fertile fields and bound less forests—and it was not there. . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."

After I finished my trek to photograph every courthouse in the state of Tennessee a couple of years ago, I went back through them all and found a few that I wanted to retake (possibly at different times of the year)...Rutherford County is one of them. The original photo of this courthouse was during the summer and all the trees are fully greened out with very little of the actual building visible. This one affords a much better view of the building...and the following text is the same as the original post! Enjoy the history...
The Rutherford County Courthouse located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a 'Classical Revival' building from 1859. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is one of six remaining Tennessee courthouses dating to before the Civil War.
In 1813 a courthouse, jail and other buildings were built on the site occupied by the current building. The courthouse served as the seat of the state legislature until 1822 when the structure burned down.
A new, larger, courthouse was built in 1859 at a cost of $50,000. The original cupola was designed to reflect the Tennessee State Capitol building in Nashville. In 1860 a new bell and clock tower was constructed. During the Civil War the Courthouse was occupied by both Confederate and Union troops. Confederate troops, under the command of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, occupied the area from July 1862 until the end of the Battle of Stones River in early 1863. The Courthouse then served as a headquarters for the Union army until the end of the war.
The Courthouse narrowly escaped destruction when a tornado hit Murfreesboro in 1913 which caused minor damage to the clock tower.
In the spring of 1923, a man known as the "Human Fly" announced that he would climb to the top of the Courthouse for a small fee. His ascent was successful but as he began to climb down he lost his footing and fell to his death. During WWII, to announce the first statewide blackout the Courthouse bell was rung at 9:00 PM on June 9, 1942 and the Courthouse became the site of an air raid alarm. The square surrounding the Courthouse was used for military training exercises.
During the early 1960s wings were added on either side of the original 1859 building to accommodate the need for additional space. Although, there have been no major constructions on the site since then the interior was renovated in 1998 to its original 19th century appearance.
There is a popular local legend which states there are a series of tunnels, possibly for escape or transferring funds to nearby banks, running from the Courthouse to various locations. No such tunnels have been discovered, although small (and limited) subterranean structures do exist such as drainage pipes.
The historic courthouse no longer hosts the county's various courts, which are now located in the Rutherford County Judicial Building on the courthouse square.
Another great pictorial history of the courthouse can be found on the Rutherford County Tennessee website:
www.rutherfordcountytn.gov/courthouse/history.html

Stones River National Battlefield, a 570-acre park along the Stones River in Rutherford County, Tennessee, three miles northwest of Murfreesboro and twenty-eight miles southeast of Nashville, memorializes the Battle of Stones River. This key battle of the American Civil War occurred on December 31, 1862 and January 2, 1863, and resulted in a strategic Union victory.
The Stones River Battlefield and Park Association was chartered on April 28, 1896, after the establishment of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park increased interest in preserving significant Civil War battlefields. Land acquisition began in 1928 and was completed in 1934. In 1992, the park accepted a donation from the City of Murfreesboro of an intact segment of Fortress Rosecrans, the largest enclosed earthwork built during the Civil War. The park preserves less than a fifth of the more than 3,000 acres over which the battle was fought. On March 3, 1927, the site was established as Stones River National Military Park. It was transferred from the War Department to the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service on August 10, 1933, and redesignated as a national battlefield on April 22, 1960. As with all historic areas administered by the National Park Service, the battlefield was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (October 15, 1966). Since 1997 the Civil War Trust (a division of the American Battlefield Trust) and its partners have acquired and preserved 26 acres of the battlefield in four acquisitions. This land was sold to the National Park Service and incorporated into the national battlefield.

Wow this one was hard for me to do. To be honest I am not completely satisfied with the final product. I like the contrast of the blue/green water and the tan and white trees and sky. I took several photos from different locations for this challenge and just didn't get the shot I loved. Let me knwo what you think.
