I spent the morning sleeping late and just relaxing–I’ve done a lot of driving over the last week and was just tired.  But after lunch it was time to go and see what was around Nashville.  After looking at the map, I headed off in the direction of the national park, but got sidetracked by a sign for the Sam Davis Home in Smyrna Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville.  Sam was a Civil War legend who was hung as the young age of 21 (1842–1863) for being a spy.  The home, built in 1820, was his childhood home and is typical upper middle class home.  While the buildings, including slave quarters, are a museum now, there is still a working cotton farm on the 160 acre site.
