Inscription. Industry and commerce were growing, even though most Tennesseans lived outside the cities and the state's economy was centered on agriculture. The clearest measure of this growth was the tremendously successful Centennial Exposition. It featured a presentation of mechanical, commercial, and transportation advances, cultural displays, and architectural feats such as the Parthenon reproduction in Nashville's Centennial Park.
