Tennessee county adds markers at three Civil War sites

COLUMBIA, Tenn. – A central Tennessee county is adding historical markers at a trio of Civil War sites.

Maury County’s Convention and Visitors Bureau wants new markers up by the spring at a gun and knife fight, a home and a soldier’s grave.

Bureau Executive Director Brenda Pierce told The Daily Herald the markers give Civil War buffs another reason to visit.

The new markers commemorate the old Nelson Hotel, the Elm Springs home and the grave of author Sam Watkins at the Zion Cemetery.
