pretty cool, right?

this is inside.

statue of Athena, goddess of wisdom

the snake represents the people,

she's protecting them with the shield.

this is a house in Franklin, Tennessee. the family that stayed there offered their house to be used like a hospital during the Civil War. there was a huge battle that took place there and about 600 confederate soldiers were looked after in that house.

we got to go inside on a tour, no photography allowed.

they even gave some of their land to be used as a cemetery for the soldiers.
