'Where/What else' in Tennessee should we make it a point to see? It can be anything - a town, anything of historical significance, anything.

Thanks!

Here's a great TN website where you can order books & search for places you'd like to visit. Most interstates have a Welcome Center at the first rest area to get maps & other brochures.

Since you'll be in Franklin, maybe I'll see you on one of my tours.

As for Pilgrimage, is this year's line-up incredible or what?

During your travels, you can visit/stay at one of the lodges in one of the TN state parks. The parks are beautiful. Falls Creek Falls might be too far east, but if you can squeeze it in, it's definitely worth a visit. Montgomery State Park is fairly close to Nashville.
Thank you! Good to know. May need a place to stay at one of those lodges. The plantation homes would interest me, too.

Yes, that would be cool!

I think I'll buy txx to the festival. It's one of the few that's made a decision to proceed with it, and I love to attend music events in travel.

I wondered about those! I know it's a drive to them but I'd be willing to do it if I have enough recommendation.

1. The Tennessee Fish Aquarium is about a lot more than fish
