Downtown along Broadway in front of the Kefauver Federal Building. This marker has since been replaced. The Centennial Exposition on this site in 1880 from April 23 through May 30, marked a century of progress since the founding of Nashville. There were parades, oratory, music, historical, art and commercial exhibits; theatrical performances, and "the grandest display of fireworks ever seen in Nashville."
