A tour of the Tennessee State Capitol is worthwhile to do while in Nashville. It was constructed between 1845-1859, and resembles the Erechtheum in Athens. One thing a Washingtonian would notice is that there is an equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson (7th President of the USA...James Polk was the 11th and Andrew Johnson the 17th) one like the statue of Jackson in Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. There's also another one in New Orleans. The Tennessee Senate chamber is pictured in this posting.
