Livingston, TN

We're in northern TN, not too far from the Kentucky border. Yesterday afternoon was spent at the Sgt. Alvin C. York historic site. What an amazing man he was. It made me think about what kind of a legacy are we going to leave behind. Here was a man from the hills of TN who was destined to become not only one of the greatest heros of WWI but also to change the lives of so many when he chose to use his hero fame for the betterment of his community. And years later, the choices he made still impact people. (The York institute is a school that is still in operation, to name one thing.) Pretty amazing stuff.The other thing that impacted me was the jaw-dropping beauty of the state of Tennessee. Being a Montana girl...I do not say this lightly. I've been blessed to travel much of the country and this is truly some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. What local treasures are around your neck of the woods that you've yet to explore?
