History

🛶 Gondolas at Centennial Park?

Picture this: It’s May 1, 1897 in Nashville. You look around and see gondolas on Lake Watauga, a 208 ft-tall seesaw, and a full-scale replica of the Parthenon.

Over 700 miles away at the White House, President McKinley presses a button that, via telegraph wire, fires a cannon and opens the gates to the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

For the next six months, nearly two million people would visit what is now Centennial Park to celebrate 100 years of statehood. The event featured nearly 100 structures on the grounds and a midway area with games and rides known as Vanity Fair.

Tennessee Centennial Ride

Imagine hopping into a car with 20 other people and flying 200+ ft in the air. This giant steel seesaw was invented by a Nashville company + cost 20 cents for the first ride.

Rialto Bridge across Lake Watauga

Lake Watauga, a small artificial lake created for the exposition, offered gondola rides.
