Tennessee, 1896, $5. 1 Share. Unissued and unsigned Stock Certificate. Striking design with Brown border and underprint with black vignettes and text. Includes the Nashville Parthenon on the upper left with the 4 corners with portraits of Jackson, Johnson, Sevier and Polk. XF. The Tennessee Centennial Exposition, held in Nashville in 1897 to celebrate Tennessee's one-hundredth anniversary of statehood, was one of the largest and grandest of a series of industrial expositions that became hallmarks of the New South era. Modeled in particular after the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1893, it featured exhibitions on the industry, agriculture, commerce and transportation of the state as well as displays on the educational and cultural achievements. The state's centennial celebration did not begin until one year after the one-hundredth anniversary of statehood due to the effects of the 1893 depression,. A group of Nashville businessmen took the lead in planning the exposition, and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad provided major backing for the event, which became, in part, a public relations effort to appease widespread public discontent with the railroad monopolies.
