      Founded in 1862 following the discovery of gold, Granite was once home to 5000 people (of whom as many as 3000 were Chinese working supposedly mined out claims). Today it is a must-see stop along the 100 mile Elkhart Drive Scenic Byway, being part ghost town - many of the old, abandoned buildings still cling ...

      According to legend, Davy Crockett was born in a log cabin on a mountaintop in Tennessee beside the Nolichucky River. Well, it wasn't really on a mountaintop, but the rest of the account is true. And the log cabin is still there - actually, a very realistic replica - ...

      Photo by Dennis Goza
      This museum in Leland, near where Muppets creator Jim Henson grew up, proclaims Leland to be The Birthplace Of Kermit the Frog, which is almost true. Henson didn't create his iconic Muppet until much later, but it was named after a childhood friend he played with along Deer Creek, which the museum sits next to. And the love of nature fostered by this ...
