Riding the Backroads in Southern Tennessee

Is there a better time of year than Springtime to get out and ride the backroads and admire all the things that represent American culture and history?

Pretty Old Barn

If one likes to admire old barns, rolling hillsides, and American Flags - Lincoln County and Giles County, Tennessee are two great places to wander the backroads and explore.

Pretty Farm Set in the Pretty Hills

Here's one interesting tidbit about Tennessee. Giles County borders Lincoln County to its east. Both counties have a two lane county road called Chicken Creek Road. and no it is not the same road running into both counties.

And I am guessing that both counties have a creek there called Chicken Creek. But the part about the creeks is just my guess. If you have other ideas or any comments, there is a place for comments at the bottom of this page.

At the Fayetteville - Lincoln County Museum in Fayetteville, Tennessee. The museum is surprising large and very educational/entertaining for a museum hidden in a small city.

A Broom Making Tool

This broom making tool is clearly very old. And it is just unique. I am guessing that the operator turned the flat wheel at the top right and that turned a broom to allow the wire to be wrapped around to bind the straw. But that is just my guess. If you have other ideas or any comments, there is a place for comments at the bottom of this page.

Notice that the legs on the device are parts of a small tree and still have the bark attached.

Southern Middle Tennessee is simply a pretty place. If one wants to take a camera and photograph some Americana, this is a great place to start. If a photographer has breakfast in Pulaski and then wanders north for lunch at the Mount Pleasant Grille in the small berg of Mount Pleasant, that photographer will be struck with the feeling of being in the heart of American country living, southern charm, and scenic Americana.

The history and culture of America are still visible in 2025 for those who will take notice as they move around our country. You just just have to take time to look and think about what you are seeing.
