If you are suprised you missed Goshen Town, think how I feel for having missed Stark's Knob!!!!! And there's also Number One. Frog town was just outside Hendersonville, between Walton Ferry Road and Drake's Creek. It got its name from the many, many frogs living on the creek, sometimes their croaking was so loud it was hard to hear normal conversation. I was born in Forest Retreat when ours was only one of two houses there. The other was a large frame house sometimes used as a gambling casino. Every weekend we would watch a procession of cars coming off Gallatin Road (now Rockland Road), crossing the railroad tracks, and stopping on top of the hill. It burned and was replaced by a more modest home which was eventually replaced by the nursing home. In the meantime, "Miss Nannie" had built the lovely cedar log home and Lucien dammed a little creek and created Anderson Lake. It remained mostly woodland until Old Hickory Lake changed the face of Sumner County forever. Joyce
