This is the burial site of William Driver who gave the U.S. Flag the nickname of "Old Glory." He is buried in Nashville City Cemetery. Read more about driver here: tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entries/william-driver/
As a child, I visited this site on a 7th grade field trip. At the time, I didn't particularly care about history, but this is the only thing I remember from the trip. When I revisited the cemetery in 2019, I made sure to revisit this grave.
Around 2006, his flag was on display as a special exhibit at the Tennessee State Museum.
