Tennessee Hotspots For Backyard Vacations
Most people are feeling the financial pinch of our current economic predicament and instead of travelling extensively this summer, are choosing to stay home. Right here in Tennessee is a whole summer’s worth of places to visit, for those of us who choose to wander no further than our own backyard. Here are a few of them:
- Loretta Lyn’s Ranch - Located 65 miles west of Nashville in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, this fun place to visit gives you an up close and personal view of one of America’s greatest country legends. Don’t forget to brush up on Loretta Lyn trivia before you visit by watching biographies and movies about the Star on channels carried by DISH Network.
- Natchez Trace State Park - A path that runs 444 miles from Mississippi to Tennessee, Natchez Trace was a traditional Native American trail that was later used by foreign explorers. The state park boasts lakes and woodlands, a perfect spot to take the family camping.
- Belle Meade Plantation – Considered one of the country’s grandest mansions, the Belle Meade Plantation is a 30-acre historical site that includes structures dating back to 1970, including the restored mansion.
There is so much history and so many things to see in Tennessee, you’ll be glad you vacationed at home this summer.
