This is the story of Casey Jones.
We couldn't believe the caboose mounted on top of the poles directing people into the Casey Jones Village. It was a big old general store, some other little stores and his home place as well as an engine and some rail cars.
Below is a picture of the children's room with their toys. It was done very nicely, with articles from the newspaper about Casey Jones, and original bedspreads on the beds.
One of the many artifacts that were showcased in part of the home. These will be moved to the museum to make way for the furniture and home accessories that are in storage.
While we were in Jackson, we found out that the Good Sam Club was hosting a Samborie at the fairgrounds. So we went and checked it out. We went late Saturday afternoon, did a little shopping at the vendors, had catered dinner and then stayed for the entertainment. While we were there we were introduced to the "Big Cyprus Chapter" of the Good Sam's. That is the chapter near my birth place of Martin, TN. In fact there were two people from Martin that knew my Dad's cousin, Hollis Littrell. This chapter made us feel so welcome. We ate dinner with them and sat with them during the entertainment. What a great bunch of people.
These entertainers were so much fun. I think they had as much with us as we did listening to them. They also entertain on a river boat. Good ole boys!We stayed two days in Jackson, TN and then headed to Union City which is the closest to Martin we could find to park our Motor Home.
