Visit the Tennessee State Capitol constructing in Nashville and you may see two towering statues of former presidents who hailed from the Volunteer State: Andrew Johnson, leaning into a majestic, windswept pose; and Andrew Jackson, tipping his plumed hat atop a rearing steed. Neither are buried there, however each are so prominently displayed that they've change into local landmarks. And they also both overshadow the modest grave of another former president who really is interred on the grounds: James K. Polk. But the couple is probably not there much longer. There's a motion afoot to exhume the Polks and transfer them about 50 miles (eighty kilometers) away, to the family's ancestral home. Polk was actually born in North Carolina in 1795, Memory Wave Program however when he was about 10 years old his household moved to the Tennessee frontier, and his father Samuel Polk constructed a two-story house within the city of Columbia in 1816. The longer term president lived there for several years as a younger adult, and the stately residence on a residential road now serves as the James K. Polk Dwelling and Museum.
