Visit Nashville War Memorial Auditorium
When you visit the Nashville War Memorial Auditorium, the first thing you will be struck by is the statue of a lone warrior that stands high above the plaza steps.
This impressive memorial to the men and women who lost their lives in the persuit of freedom was constructed between 1923 and 1925, and the names of 3,400 Tennesseans who lost their lives in WWI are inscribed on the wall of the courtyard. The memorial opened to the public in 1927 and has remained a testiment to freedom.
Near to the sculpture is a black marble memorial wall that mimics the much larger one in Washington DC that is emblazoned with the names of Vietnam veterans from the Volunteer State. This is a gathering spot for people to group peacefully at the plaza for all manners of public assemblage.
The inside of this auditorium holds up to 1,900-people for concerts, theater, and other forms of entertainment. This venue was once home to Charlie Daniels' Volunteer Jam, where several live albums have been recorded.
