Three years after the Tennessee State Museum opened in its new location on the corner of Rosa L. Parks Boulevard and Jefferson Street in downtown Nashville, the building has been named the Bill Haslam Center. A ceremony honoring the former governor for his contributions to the preservation of state history and expansion of the museum in 2018 took place yesterday. The museum was created by the General Assembly in 1937 to consolidate various collections. It was first located in the lower level of the War Memorial Building and then moved to the James K. Polk Center. Read more about the event from Gov. Bill Lee's office.
