Imagine a place, just off a major interstate highway, where you will have access to peaceful mountains, rolling hills and tranquil lakes. Imagine a place where all your needs are met with relaxing soft strains of old time music or to the hard driving sounds of one of the country's most elite NASCAR venues leaving you wanting more. Imagine a cavern where you can see where Indians once lived, or where the first sounds of country music were heard and where its history lives today, shopping in a historic downtown district with its unique boutiques and antique shops lining the main street.
