Beauty of Tennessee in Autumn

Tennessee, the Volunteer state, is recognized each year in October. It was the 16th state added to the union. Offerings from Tennessee include the Great Smoky Mountains, a great love of music and history tha packs a punch. Most of all it is a gateway to the deep south. 

The Civil War did no favors for Tennessee. Inheriting a slaveholding reputation there were many that sympathized with the Union as well. It was divided in and among itself during the American War. Due to the division each county in Tennessee has seen at least one battle or skirmish. However, the state did recover and still continues to prove that is a very artistic state.

Memphis and Nashville continue to showcase talent in the music and entertainment industry. More than 75 years The Grand Ole Opry has showcased radio performances that have thrilled audiences of all ages. Royalty itself found home in Graceland where Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll lived and Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul was born in Memphis. While great stars play on stage there are stars in the sky above all the great waterfalls, trails and wildlife.
