Tennessee has changed a lot in the last fifty years. There are even some places (ahem, Nashville) that seem to change every year with all the new people moving in, but thankfully there are some places that just seem to be stuck in time. One of these places is the tiny town of Granville, right on the banks of the Cumberland River. There, you’ll find the nicest people, the most delicious country cookin’, and the best old-time general store this side of the Mississippi. If you’re looking for a trip back in time, look no further.
