TN Encyclopedia: MERIWETHER LEWIS NATIONAL MONUMENT
Montana has named many landmarks for the famous Captain. Much of his adventure took place in that pristine wilderness, but Tennessee is where he rests. Lewis is buried in the side yard of the Grinder home/Inn. It was nothing more than a log house and a barn where travelers could rest for the night on the Natchez Trace.
A twelve foot monument marks the site of his burial. Its epitaph pays tribute to his undaunted courage.
