We have so many photos that we felt it might be best to post them in several "slide shows". Hopefully they will be a little more meaningful this way...Lynchburg, TN, sits in a sleepy little "hollow" deep in the backwoods of south central Tennessee, approximately 90 miles south of Nashville. It is surrounded on all sides by tall rolling hills that are the home of stately farms/ranches with emerald pastures and white fences - and when the hills are not the site of a home, they are so densely covered with magnificent trees and vines that one cannot see beyond a few feet into the forests. It is not hard to imagine this area as being an excellent location to hide an illegal " moonshine still" from the federal "reveneurs" years ago...
From my observation, time has not disturbed Lynchburg very much over the years. The courthouse is still the center of the town and it's commerce (mostly tourist-oriented these days) - and most of the homes we saw near the competition site were built back in the 1800's. The "faces" may have changed over the years in Lynchburg - but very little else.
In the following photos, you will see signs we encountered as we entered Lynchburg, the old courthouse, many of the stores "on the square", photos of the Jack Daniel's Visitor center (which, believe it or not, we never found enough time to visit!!), and a photo of Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House (which is now a restaurant, serving some of the finest family-style Southern cooking we have ever eaten!! This is a "must-do" if you ever visit Lynchburg - and make certain to book your reservations well in advance!)
