I mean, could you imagine the entrance essay required for admissions? Teehee. Okay, all jokes aside this building is in very good shape on the outside. I love the stone arch entryway. And the turrets are super cool. After it closed the building became a jail and now serves as a museum/offices holding a host of archives. To the locals, it's the coolest building for Christmas lighting. Its all locked up for safety as it get's renovated. but you can still peer inside the windows and see a lot. You like ghost stories? All I remember is...I'm taking pics and next thing you know I get this very bad feeling. VERY VERY VERY BAD FEELING. Like in a sixth sense kind of way. Like someone or something is following me. Total goosebumps. Feels like someone inside waiting to zombie attack me. I think I stepped a little too close to the window. Or maybe they don't want their picture taken? Holy beejezus I ran away from this building like a wee little girl. Days later I did a little research. Turns out there's a huge following that his place is haunted. Was featured in several ghost hunter publications. Check it out. Or don't. Me? I prefer to sleep at night. If I still can. That was WAY too real.

It also overlooks the plant site itself if you want to appreciate the scale of everything. Admission is $10, and expect to spend one to one and a half hours here. I'm not sure how much appeal it has to younger kids as there's limited hands on interactive displays, and some of the topics they delve into are heavy, such as the role of African Americans and how they were still segregated at Oak Ridge. There's a small gift shop and bathroom facilities. ADA accessible. Do note that if you pay for a ticket here you get a discount when you buy admission tickets at the American Museum of Science and Energy the same day.

But I will say the following about this town: Okay, so I think the county courthouse here is positively peculiar and gorgeous. Made of local Crab Orchard stone it has such a unique shape and impeccable color. The surrounding bandstand and greenery is just charming. The clock tower has me looking over my shoulder for Marty in his DeLorean. What's up Doc? Let me snap my 89th picture of this facade over here. The downtown has really intuitive visitor guides. You can stop in the gazebo area and pick up a brochure or just look at the famous spots mapped out on signage above you. Did I mention this is also a retirement community? I feel like the city is used to foot traffic and all the investment in tourism shows it. If you have the time, you can visit the old depot or museums or just march down the flawless historical downtown streets. I really loved the old buildings here. There's shopping. There's some food but it's mostly outside of the historic downtown and closer to the busy roads.

We entered the town of Pikeville, TN and had lunch and decided to explore and found this historical home. There was not much information there about the home on signs, so when I got home I had to look it up. I found a little bit of history about it. History: This two-story 1815 home next to the courthouse in Pikeville, TN was owned by John Bidgeman. Bridgeman was a local civic and business leader who outfitted a company of Confederate infantry from Bledsoe County. A federal-style house built in 1815, the John Bridgman House was one of the earliest dwellings in Pikeville. John Bridgeman was the founder of Pikeville and named the town after his home in North Carolina, Pike. The land that the John Bridgman house sits on is part of the original 30 acres purchased in 1816 to establish the city of Pikeville. The house was sold in 1992 to the First National Bank of Pikeville who helped restore it to its original glory. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 24, 1993. John migrated to Tennessee about 1811. Military records show that John joined the East Tennessee Militia at Washington, Rhea County, Tennessee during the War of 1812, where he served as a Sergeant. He was discharged May 14, 1814 after serving four months and eleven days. John was in Campbell County, Tennessee in December 1815, when he gave a power of attorney to collect any payments due him for his military service. John married Lavenia Cox at Bridgman's Mill, in Knox County, Tennessee John settled in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, where he appeared in the Bledsoe County court records in 1818, as a Commissioner for the town of Pikeville. Court records indicate that John bought and sold thousands of acres of land between the years 1818 and 1847. He also bought and sold a number of slaves between 1821 and 1837. John was elected to the House of Representatives for Bledsoe County, for the 13th General Assembly in 1819-1821
