Not great photos but any of you that are near West Tennessee this summer may want to take in Discovery Park America. Can stay all day and not see it all. Nice old log settlement complete with antique tools. Tons of military stuff form all wars . Very nice collection of Old combine, hay press road grader, and about 30+ antique tractors. Most are purchases from Aumman auction or on loan from collectors. Photos of a few of the interesting ones,Oliver cab for Rrund

Gonna have to take a trip over there one if these days I guess. Maybe I can get jm to go with me since Olivers aren't very popular over that way. lol
 
Sorry Paul down in a small town called UNION CITY Tennessee. New 10 million investment by a local man there just for the community. Right up in the North West Corner of Tennessee .
 
I'm guessing the "local man" is probably Turner Kirkland he's the guy who was behind Dixie Gun Works, Interesting a town that size is/was home to Turner Kirkland and Jerry Gurien, who was a big player in the stone washed jeans process. They used to have a Goodyear plant but it closed. I hear Titan tire has purchased or rented the tire plant for storage. The big employer in town is now Tyson Foods. Kohler makes shower enclosures there, Lear-Siegler used to make car and truck seats there and Stay-right pump had a plant there also.

I used to work at the rendering plant there living in the area from 1994-1999
 
Wis seems you know them all Jerry and I are good friends and know the Kirklands when I see them. They do have deep pockets. Gurin has kinda cut back on his spending.
