	Stones River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stones River is a major stream of the eastern portion of Tennessee's Nashville Basin region.
		Between Percy Priest Dam and the mouth of the Stones River it flows through Clover Bottom, a large flood plain and site of a former plantation whose mansion house, after many years of disuse, neglect, and vandalism, is now the headquarters for the Tennessee Historical Commission.
		The Stones River is now thought of primarily in terms of its major impoundment, Percy Priest Lake, and is very important to the Nashville area.
