This week 164 years ago, Union soldier Jessie Hyde passed through Bowling Green, Kentucky, during his time in the Civil War.

He commented, “This was one of the rebels’ strongest points of defense,” and that “Bowling Green was, undoubtedly, a beautiful place before the commencement of the war.”

Kentucky played a major role in the Civil War, and at one point Bowling Green was the capitol of the Confederacy in the state. Simon Bolivar Buckner led 4,000 troops to occupy the city in September of 1861. This stronghold did not last, however, as Federal troops regained the city by February 1862.

The State of Tennessee offers more than 100 specialty license plates for Tennessee motorists to display on their registered motor vehicles. These plates represent special interest organizations, professional organizations, colleges and universities, branches of the military and other topics. Most of these plates are available at your local county clerk’s office. However, you may want to call and check before traveling to the clerk’s office.

A Specialty License Plate costs $35 each year. You can exchange your current license plate for a Specialty License Plate anytime, the county clerk will prorate your fees.

County clerks charge an additional $1 fee for the issuance of a specialty plate. This makes the fee $36 for specialty plates and $71 for personalized specialty plates, plus the standard state registration fee and any wheel taxes imposed by local governments.

The Tennessee Arts Commission benefits from the sale of specialty places that promote the arts. The Commission helps initiatives like the Historic Clay County Courthouse and many other projects and organizations that bring visual, cultural, musical and theatrical opportunities to communities like ours.
