About
Bluegrass Mandolin is one in a series of nine Riverwalk mile markers by artist Jim Collins that are placed along the Tennessee River. The sculptures depict the variety of users that take advantage of this public greenway system. Each one marks a mile between the Chickamauga Dam and Ross’s Landing, offering park-goers an aesthetically pleasing and useful visual experience.
