Here’s a shot of one of the rooms. In 1874, this was a federal courtroom. It hasn’t changed much since then.

Wish I was out hiking up Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains right now. Although, it would be pitch dark and the trail’s probably still covered with snow. Guess I’ll have to wait until spring to get shots like this again…

This is the James Rice grist mill, built in 1798 on Lost Creek in Union County, TN. Around 1935, it was disassembled, moved, and reassembled alongside a creek in nearby Norris Dam State Park.

A while back I was at the Washington County archives in Jonesborough, TN. I was looking for something else in the minutes of the pleas & quarters sessions book, & I found this May 12, 1778 record of a young lawyer named Andrew Jackson who was admitted to practice as an attorney in the county court.
