Scammer of Trusting kid - AVOID…read more Today, my wife and I were a couple doors down getting pizza, and my son who had a good experience with a new hire the day before, had unfortunate experience with regular staff. She showed him cards in dim light and changed the price up from marked price and when he was in daylight two doors down he saw he'd been scammed with a damaged card that was not priced based on actual condition or price on that was on it. I walked back to shop with my son and she said no exchange, no refunds, she can change the price and sell known damaged cards and 11 yr old needs to learn his lesson to not be so trusting! I was shocked! I told her that this terrible customer service would cost her way more than the cost of that card profit with a bad review. She did not care at all. - "NO REFUNDS'" Take your kids elsewhere, when in town, unfortunately.

The facility straddles a ridge with amazing views of the surrounding countryside. With parking for 100+ cars and hookups for 8-10 RVs, they are well equipped for crowds. The grounds are well maintained with beautiful landscaping. The bandstand in the pavilion is an excellent spot for live music and mingling with friends. The grass area between the pavilion and shop are so inviting and a perfect place to relax in the sun while listening to music. The true star of the show is the hospitality shown by Tim. As they continue to make improvements it will just get better and better! If you're looking for the perfect spot for a wedding, corporate retreat or reunion, you'll want to consider this awesome venue. Can't wait to see what the next few years holds in store for Whiskey Hill Lynchburg!

And wow, this place absolutely delivers. Whoever the rich benefactors are - they developed and curated this museum and clearly went all in. There are so many planes, each one beautifully restored, polished, and presented like it truly matters. These are not just aircraft, they feel like fine works of art, each with its own story and presence. Even the gift shop impressed me. It is not an afterthought like at some places. There were multiple styles of T shirts, including some genuinely soft, high quality cotton options that felt like something you would actually want to wear, not just toss in a drawer. Prices were reasonable too, which made it easy to justify a souvenir. My husband was completely in his element here and absolutely loved every minute of it.

The Beechcraft Stagger Wing has always been one of my favorite planes just based on the aesthetics of the build. I love being able to see the framework and learn the history of this aircraft along with other interesting aspects of the Beechcraft company. The museum is impeccably clean and a pleasure to visit. Well worth the small fee and a few hours of time to wander through.

It's held annually in October and is such a lovely drive up to Lynchburg! Gary N did a great job of accurately capturing the "feel" of the event in his numerous photos posted here! There are a lot of vendors set up for this event selling eats, t-shirts, and more. There's a large, covered pavilion where the judging happens, and spectators can watch from bleachers. I don't recall the number of judges but I do recall at least one local "celebrity" newscaster among the judges. The Styrofoam containers for judging are deftly prepared and rushed to the judging area with immense intensity - it really is something to watch, and the "food runner" will scream at you to "get out of the way" if they need to! Others referenced free samples, which wasn't the case on our visit, except for the international area. No guests/visitors get samples of the competition BBQ to my knowledge. If you want lunch, you'll need to get something from the vendors. However, the international area competitors did offer us ample samples of their BBQ. They were all very friendly, too! The competition area is fairly spread out, so wear comfortable shoes and the entryway is sloped, so there's that. It's free as far as I know, and everyone should attend at least one championship BBQ competition - the Jack Daniels event is a well-run, fun one to attend.

Coming from Chattanooga area we chose to take the scenic drive down the old highway from Monteagle through Sewanee. As you arrive into town you can start seeing the smoke and smelling the BBQ. This is a very small town but everyone seems to be selling parking. $5-$10 mostly. We parked very close to downtown. The square is fully covered with tents and vendors as you walk in, live country music is playing. All the downtown shops are open and plenty to explore and see in the town. However, food is in our mind and we continue down to the food tents and competition area. Lots of free samples, but I did not see any from the competitors which was a disappointment. But still plenty to see and try. They also have food instructions, vendor demos, Etc I do wish they would move this so it is not the same weekend as Tennessee vs Alabama. We left early to catch the game as I am sure many do. At the least put a big screen up for the crowd. Lynchburg is a great small town and one you should visit. Jack Daniels is a short walk and free tour. Great day.
