The Nashville Parthenon - Inexplicable Re-Creation - Tennessee State Museum 

I'm 60 with arthritis in every joint . I love to see someone like Jen living her life to the fullest as she can, with a partner who is so loving and supportive. I love seeing her with Jacob enjoying fun things. I know it's hard, but please keep showing up. Take care of yourself, but don't give up. It gives all of us out there so much happiness to see you. overcoming overcoming

My dear Jen, please relax and let those injections do their job!! I'm a nurse and can tell you that in order for those injections to really work, you must give them a good 48 hours to do the job. I hope you're feeling better because we love you on this channel and your channel, too!!! So stay well and thank you for all the joy you bring to us!

Jacob, I hope you enjoyed Nashville.I am from TN. I grew up in Nashville and have been to the Parthenon, but never been to the TN History Museum. I think it is important that we preserve the good and bad of history. I think it’s also important that we remember history in context. As someone who has ancestors who fought for the Confederate army and were in the KKK, I think a lot of these people were not necessarily bad people overall, but fighting change out of ignorance. It was a different world back then. No excuses for the bad actions they did, but I think it’s just human nature. I am glad that we learned from history overall and live in a country that at least works and allows making things better. We need to preserve history and report it as accurately as possible with no agendas involved. As always, I appreciate your channel and the awesome content! Looking forward to this trip.

Magnolia petroleum of Dallas first created and used Pegasus in 1911. However, in 1953, they merged with Mobil, who took over the Pegasus logo.

I love the Parthenon! I remember the first time I saw Athena when I first moved here. This was before she was covered in gold leaf, and she was gleaming white. She took my breath away…so beautiful and so big!!❤️🤗🐝

Thank you so much for traveling to all of these places for everyone to enjoy Jacob. I hope Jen gets plenty of rest and feels better soon. Safe travels to you both.

The Sultana was no joke. Hundreds of captured Union Soldiers were finally on their way home, and the Captain of the Steamboat had overloaded it with Soldiers to maximize his payout and hadn't allowed proper maintenance on her boilers. So, when she exploded, hundreds of already sick and tired men who were hoping to get home after years of captivity in horrible conditions were killed at the finish line because of one mans greed.

I love the Parthenon. We used to go there every time we went to Nashville.

Awesome museums. Jen, hope you get better. My mom had both her knees replaced in the span of 4 years. This was... 8 years ago. It's a looooong road of painful, but necessary, therapy afterwards. But it is totally worth it. I would love to see tht replica of the Parthenon. As a nerd for history... omg.

Great choice and tour of the Parthenon, I had no idea something like that was in Nashville! I love Tennessee and any videos showing what it's like are my favorite! Good job and thank you! The museum was great too!

Thank-you, Jacob! Had been wanting to see the Nashville Parthenon for some time. Did not know about their other museum.

Really enjoyed today's video. It was great to see Jen come to the rescue. Next time you go to Disney with Jen consider renting a mobility scooter. It's something I did and was able to make it through all the parks. I can walk that's not the problem. I just have fatigue and like Jen bad knees. I hope to see you and Jen go down to Disney again.

Thanks so much for the tour of the Parthenon. I had no idea there was an art museum under. Great stuff!

So glad you went here. The one time I went to Nashville, we walked around the building but that was all the time we had. I so wanted to go inside. Thank you

It’s fascinating to see the Parthenon through the eyes of a non-native like myself. I have all sorts of connections with that building: I was in a play performed on one side of the building, I’ve been to a wedding at the Parthenon, my family’s business provided the marble for the base of the Athena statue, and I am friends with the woman who was for many years the Director of the Parthenon. And I live less than 10 minutes from it. So I’m always happy when people discover it and its wonders.

Hi Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏽.

Thank you for saying how awful the indigenous people and slaves were treated. The awful people that terrorized them. Really enjoyed this episode.

Loved your reflection on Nathan Bedford Forrest

This was so enjoyable. I remember visiting the Parthenon in the late fifties when I was a child. Nashville is such an amazing city. Here's hoping Jenn feels better soon.

This makes me want to visit Nashville. Poor Jenn. I’m glad the injections are helping. Key West is the best. So relaxing.

Carpetbagger this place is amazing. Thanks for taking us there.

Thank you for sharing this great video! It made me so happy to hear you say “rosebud” when you showed us the little Parthenon snow globe. Also, I hope Jen’s knees feel better soon.

I have another recommendation if you go to Opry Mills mall they have a really nice Wax Museum, and you could eat a nice meal at the Restaurant The Aquarium. There is a beautiful aquarium full of fish surrounding the eating areas. Real nice experience. All at the same mall. Or if you go to the main street BB kings is Awesome!

Mobile is the gas station ⛽️ company. * Texaco is more famous but In 1934, an 11-foot red Pegasus appeared on top of Dallas first skyscraper, the Magnolia Building in downtown Dallas. This Pegasus was built by local sign maker Texlite for the Magnolia Oil Company and featured two mirror images of neon red horses on either side of a structure that rotated, allowing the creature to be seen from all directions.

Jacob...great video. Jen you are amazing. So nice how you take care of each other.

Another awesome video as always Jacob and Jenn is your hero for sure and safe travels to you and her.

Wow! I love this so much. The colored parthanon puzzle was a highlight

Jacob and Jenn are the best partners for each other❤️So lovely:)

Hi both, I am so pleased now I have fully caught up with all Jacob's vlogs. I have yours Jenn to catch up on I will move onto that next.. I hope you knee's will soon feel much better.. Great to see we are back visiting great Museum's. The Parthenon is amazing I'm pleased you visited it.. All the best to you both for now. Marie XXXX

Wow!! I never knew there was a Parthenon in Nashville. Cool! Thanks! 😃

The Parthenon is a very facinating place to go to and the park is really great!! Glad your back in my hometown.

Hello Jacob and Jenn! I just wanted to comment on Jenn's knee trouble I have had several injections but the one thing that really helped was Prayers of healing No more injections needed No more pain Praise God!

Good morning Jacob glad to see this, love your museum video, there my favorite. You take care my friend.🤓📸👍

Thankyou for the tour ! I have never seen it sp close and never seen inside and I'm 68 years old. Interesting.

Greetings from Maine. Blessings. Safe travels.

Jen saves the trip! 😊 Safe travels to both of you.

❤Wow. I'm heading there Monday!

You and Jen are awesome together

Athens and Athena are big symbols in my town. I would love it if we had that huge statue of Athena in front of our courthouse. 😆

I like what u said about overcoming our past, Jacob. You don't have to like it but it's our reality and brought us to where we are now

I have arthritis in my left knee, but also Fibromyalgia, cos and me, so lucky lol. I swear when you showed your bags in the back of the car your meds were in the side pocket of your backpack.

I REALLY love this video! Thank you Jacob! 😊💜 💜 💜 I have been to Nashville, and I loved it, but I didn't get to do, Everything that I wanted to do, not enough time to do everything. I wanted to see the Parthenon but didn't get to. So, I thank you for showing us the Parthenon! 💜 So Amazing! 😊💜 I always learn something when watching your vlog! Especially, when you stop at Museums! Big or small, I love museums! So many interesting things to see, and learn about! I am also glad that Jenn made it out, to you, safely, especially with her new knees injections! Ouch! ((Hugs)) and love for quick healing for Jenn's knees.

Actually quite impressed with The Parthenon in Nashville?? The statue of Athena sent chills down my spine.

Yay!!! JENN! ❤..Get a red wagon and take her with you to Memphis! She and Bucee can ride around:)

In my town! Welcome to Nash-Vegas Jacob.

The old Pegasus is from an ExxonMobil gas station

I can relate jen. My cort shot only lasted 3 days then the pain came back. Looking into gel now!

Welcome to my hometown. :) Fun fact... Did you know that Nashville is known as the Athens of the south?

Nice museum's! I never knew that Nike was an angel ^^" oh my mum also got a new knee and she's very good with it ^^"I hope Jen will be OK and will find her way to some new fresh knees in the future ❤

She is good to you.

Good Morning Jen .. !!!

I can totally understand and empathize about Jen's knees. I've had both miniscus in both knees repaired/reattached since September. Please give the injections time to work. I get corticosteroid injections, lidocaine injections and take Tylenol 3 with codeine to deal with mine. God bless you both and I always look forward to the awesome videos and positive vibes 😊

Parthenon is so impressive, great merchandise too, i would have gone T shirt crazy. Great work Jacob. Well done Jen saving our Carpetbagger

Jen hope you feel better knee pain is bad.

Oh, this is such a good video. I love museums so much history. Thank you for sharing this.

41:00 to Jen, I have arthritis. The last time I went to WDW, I rented a scooter. I would not have enjoyed myself without it. Autoimmune stuff sucks!

That statue of Athena reminds me of the statue of Hera in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS.

Fantastic!! Yes, most sculpture and buildings had bright colors back then, all worn off.

Great video Jacob and hi Jen. Looking forward to the next safe travels my friends and take care.

Has Jenn tried rooster comb injections?? Daddy said it's the only thing that worked for him...

We did this when we traveled through last year and it was so weird and awesome. Nashville is amazing.

Oh Jenny I have any issues I’m gonna get a total knee replacement in June so I do understand and I’ve had those Cortizone shots and even though they might work but they work on a temporary basis and they don’t last long at all so I do understand what you’re going through because walking is a chore nowadays but in between time thank you for sharing you take care and enjoy your visit. Be safe.❤🤠

Dang! That's impressive!

Hi Jacob the carpetbagger I like your channel and content

Hi! You guys are literally 15 miles from my home!!! Glad you enjoyed Nash Vegas. Maybe one of these days I'll be downtown and say hello 👋 You always make my day!!

Wish I had known this was there when I visited Tennessee however, I'm opting to see the real one. The beauty of it is that it is still standing after all these years and whatever state that it's standing in. Kind of reminds me of Me as I age L O L. Thanks for sharing this. If I ever get back to Tennessee I'll make sure to stop by and check this out.

I have been to that Parthenon and it is very cool to visit

The name of the gas station with the Pegasus is Sinclair.

PETITION TO PAINT THE TN PARTHENON!

Very interesting video jacob

James K. Polk was born in North Carolina. 😊 Pineville NC right outside of Charlotte in Mecklenburg county.

Impressive Parthanon😊 cool museum

You make the best videos on RU-vid. I see and learn so much from them. Thank you and God bless.

jen is a saint for driving out there to being you your medication! always love seeing her in your videos, knee injections or otherwise. hope she can rest her knees and that the rest of the trip goes smoothly- really enjoying it so far! ❤

Wooooo! Just in time for me to watch

I got both of my knees replaced. Best thing I could have done. You should get them done Jenn

Wild Jacob that statue was hudge

Solid They Might Be Giants reference 👍🏼

Nashville home of country music and Nashville hot chicken

Hey, ROSEBUD, Have a fantastic day jacob. ♥️

This video is the closest you've been to my office. I need to check out the TN state museum ever since they opened the new one. Next door at the farmers Market, they have a bicycle rack made out of corn.

The Parthenon was a cool mix of a roadside attraction and an art museum, sort of like Boyette's Citrus Attraction lol

I think hacob left his meds on purpose so hed get to see Jenn ...lol😂😂 shes a keeper

A movie about the Sultana would be awesome!!

Jenn thank you for being fun again. Great adventure so far.

I always look forward to your videos! I love to travel but cannot as much do to kids and money lol. So in a way I get to travel through your videos!

More historical information 😊

I grew up around Nashville and I LOVED coming here as often as I could.

Jacob I throughly loved this, I went back in September last year and the heat got to me, so I sadly had to go back to the hotel soon after getting our ticket. So happy to have my #1 RU-vidr give me the tour! I have to go back to see everything, thanks Jacob 😊

i love to go to nashville just for a little while in a year or so

I remember the Pegasus used for the Flying A gas station

Very interesting!

THECARPETBAGGER🚗💨💨💨💨 LOVE YOU JENN ❤❤😊

No, we did not all see the Barbie movie😂

I love the Parthenon in Nashville! I used to work across the street from it, so I would go have lunch over at Centennial Park quite a bit. It is really beautiful when everything is blooming! Hope Jen is feeling better soon and thanks for a great vlog!

Mobil is the gas station that used the Pegasus.

Mobil oil used the Pegasus in their sign.

So - I looked up the Sultana” - here is a quote “The story of the alligator and its box is one of several recounted in “The Sultana Tragedy.” The 1992 book by Jerry Potter is one of two definitive books devoted to the Sultana. The other is “Disaster on the Mississippi” by Gene Salecker. In Potter’s book, William Lugenbeal, a Union soldier and prisoner of war from Ohio, is credited with seizing on the idea. He found the alligator still in its crate below a staircase on the boat, dragged the crate onto the rapidly burning deck of the Sultana, killed the alligator with his bayonet and threw the crate into the river. He used it as a raft and was rescued by another boat on the river three miles below Memphis.”

Hi Jen. Be safe guys.

Decay + erode = Decrode LOL
