Mystic First Day Cover
The first day ceremony for the 32¢ Tennessee stamp took place on May 31, 1996, in Knoxville, TN, and commemorated the 200th anniversary of statehood. The 3¢ stamp was issued in 1946, the 150th anniversary of Tennessee's admittance.
The 1996 stamp features the state capitol building in Nashville, which was designed by noted architect William Strickland. Although he had worked on plans for the US Capitol in Washington, DC, he considered the state capitol building his crowning achievement. Called the “Athens of the South,” Nashville has been Tennessee’s capital since 1862.
U.S. #941 pictures the state capitol, President Andrew Jackson, and Governor John Sevier. France ceded “The Volunteer State” to the United States in 1763. In 1796, Tennessee was admitted as the 16th state of the Union, with John Sevier as its first governor.
