The cemetery contains the graves of many early settlers, two governors, prominent leaders and families, and many unknown CSA soldiers.
After the walking tour, I stopped at Wilson Park to see the blooming cherry trees.

Next, I went to UNA to see the newly remodeled fountain. There were people there taking pictures for Graduation. Leo the lion was basking in the sun, and he roared several times. Normally, he just lays quietly, but today, he must have been hungry.
I rode to McFarland Park and stopped for a few pictures. The River was down compared to what it had been but still was peeking at the banks. One side of the park was closed because of flooding. There were a lot of people at the park, people were parked everywhere, even on the banks of the road.

I stopped at River Heritage Park and walked to see the floodgates at Wilson Dam. The Tennessee River was raging through.
On my way home, I stopped to check on my son Mike he had surgery on his back. He was outside with his brother Andy. Ava came outside and was riding her car. Saw a Yellow Monarch Butterfly landing on the yellow dandelions.
I had a very interesting day.
