LOT #615

Tennessee Centennial Expostion

1896, Tennessee. Stock certificate for 5 shares. Brown\Black. Nice vignette of the Parthenon in the upper left corner, portrait vignettes of James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jackson and John Sevier.

Held in 1897, as the name implies, the exposition was held to celebrate the state’s 100 year anniversary of statehood. While Tennessee achieved statehood in 1796, the centennial celebration was delayed for a year as a result of conditions related to the Depression of 1893. The city of Nashville first constructed the Parthenon to house the expositions art exhibition as a reflection of the city’s reputation as the “Athens of the South”.

The exposition covered nearly 200 acres with 35 main buildings. Attendance was approximately 1.8 million visitors, making the event a great success. The certificate is large, measuring 16” x 10 ½” with large outside margins. A wonderful historic Southern stock. Scarce. Uncancelled and Extremely Fine. $1,000 - up
