    My husband is a pilot, so when we were visiting a friend in Franklin, making the easy 45 minute…read moredrive out to the Beechcraft Heritage Museum felt like a no brainer. 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.

    It goes without saying that pilots like to visit museums about planes. As a pilot I was excited to…read morefind this gem only an hour away from home. 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.

    If you have some time, seriously consider the Day at Jack tour. An all-day, immersive experience…read moreinto the town of Lynchburg, its history and, of course, an in-depth look at the operation of the Jack Daniel's distillery. My wife and I just finished this tour and would recommend it without hesitation. Our day started at 10:35, when we met our tour guide, Justin, and the small group we'd be spending the day with. After a brief introduction and a quick photo, we boarded a shuttle bus and got a quick look at some historical Lynchburg landmarks. Then we enjoyed lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Restaurant. It was family-style, southern fare, and simply outstanding. We walked through town to the distillery and enjoyed a fun, fascinating, super informative tour of how Jack is made, stored, bottled, the whole thing. This tour is the one opportunity for visitors to see the inside of one of the barrel storage facilities. The day ended with a tasting session, where we explored some of the finer points of a selection of Jack Daniel's whiskeys and their individual qualities and personalities. Plus everyone received a gift bag with a framed version of the photo taken earlier in the day, some chocolates, and a bottle of Miss Mary Bobo's Hot Sauce (which I had earlier on fried Okra and it was tremendous!). It was nearly 4 p.m. by the time we were done. So I meant when I said "if you have some time." And it costs a little more. But worth every penny and every minute of time. Extra shoutout to Justin who was knowledgeable and engaging and an all around good dude.
