Tennessee has a lot to show for its years, from coffee empires to music royalty, architectural wonders to nature’s finest. With fascinating, exciting and downright weird people, places and events, learn what makes Tennessee, well, Tennessee:
- Never mind Nashville: the U.S. Congress deemed the official birthplace of country music to be Bristol, a tiny town in the northeast corner of the state
- Elvis Presley’s mother, father, grandmother, twin brother and the King himself are buried at Graceland, Elvis Presley’s Memphis home
- Sweetwater is the location of The Lost Sea, the largest underground lake in America; its total size has been a mystery since its discovery over 100 years ago
- Fall Creek Falls, located in Middle Tennessee, is one of the highest waterfalls east of the Rocky Mountains and thunders down a full 256 feet
- The skeleton of a saber-toothed tiger was discovered buried in downtown Nashville in 1971, only the fifth skeleton of its kind to be discovered in North America
- The Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis is famous for the ducks that live on its roof; every day a "Duckmaster" escorts the ducks from the hotel’s roof, down the elevator and into the fountain in the hotel’s lobby.
And so much more…
