Leipers Fork, Tennessee

Leipers Fork, Tennessee is a place I happened upon by accident on a trip to Nashville up the Natchez Trace. It is one of the oldest towns in Tennessee and has a rich history and a real quaint atmosphere, the kind of place you want to spend a little or maybe a lot of time. The day I came thru town they were having a Chili Cook off (this years cookoff is Oct 16, 2010) and the town was a buzz with people and music and food and stuff. It is a very neat and interesting place to say the least and I will have to visit some of the other events they have there on a regular basis. Check out the events page on the link if you want to do something different one weekend. I snapped this photo of  a full size bronze statue of Benjamin Franklin sitting on a bench in the front yard of a local house.
