President Polk's home and museum and Natchez Trace

We drove to Columbia, TN to visit yet another presidential home and museum, this time the 11th president James K. Polk.  As always - interesting.

Then we drove a bit further to the Natchez Trace.  We had done the southern part over 5 years ago and wanted to see the northern part.  Natchez Trace is a 450 mile long foot/horse trail from Tennessee to Mississippi and Alabama used in the late 1800's.  It is now a National Park with a modern road that follows the path, there are many pull-overs and lots to see.
