Book Reviews of Moon Handbooks Tennessee
Book Review: Very helpful guide for our trip to Franklin & Nashville
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I travel and normally he just lets me choose our location. This year he asked if he could make a suggestion....sure, I thought, what will it be, New York, Europe, some island? Nashville, he said....Hmmmmm. An interesting choice I thought, and I know NOTHING of Nashville. Each of our trips usually starts with me getting a couple good guides and completely pouring through them and also in doing a lot of internet research, then more guide reading. My favorite guide had nothing for Tennessee, and so we went with the Moon Handbook. Though there are not any color pictures, which usually are a nice touch, I found the guides really helped me to understand what was available to do, what was recommended and gave me more choices than I could possibly ever hope to see in a week.
So, how did it go? Well, it went fantastic! We visited the Opry, The Country Music Hall of Fame, the Bluebird Cafe, where we also met the artists and cd's signed (a real treat!). We visited Franklin and learned about the 5 hour battle that was fought mostly at night and had casualties of approx. 10,000. We toured the Carter House, where you can still see bullet holes in the house and Carnton Plantation, where the home was featured in Robert Hick's best-selling novel "Widow of the South". This plantation home was used as a field hospital and now houses one of the largest privately owned Confederate Cemeteries. We went downtown and listened to music in little honky-tonk and even took in opening night for NHL's Nashville Predators. There truly is something for everyone here. The key is to have a great guide and give yourself plenty of time to get to know what is available. Couple this with a little internet research to find some of the local spots (We found a local brewery-Yazoo, that was incredibly fun, where we toured, and hung around outside listening to a little impromptu bongo/guitar music out at the picnic tables outside the taproom and talked to locals that gave us insights on their favorite spots.) We also enjoyed the JD Distillery, which is about 1.5 hours from Nashville in Lynchberg-worth the trip in my humble opinion.
The people? As nice as people tell you they are. They have a certain charm about them. Be prepared to slow down, enjoy some of the stories and just have a good time. I know we did, and the preparation we did with this guide was the beginnings of our wonderful trip.
