I would like to have the opinion of those of you who have ties to Coffee County. I am forming a group, the Coffee County Living History Association, and would love to eventually obtain property here for a "pioneer village" such as exists in Murfreesboro (Cannonsburg) and at the fairgrounds in Lebanon, and at many other locations throughout the state. Such a site could be utilized for Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, etc... re-enactments, and our local artisans could dress in period clothing showing how things were made years ago, and how folks lived "back in the day". We've got a lot of folks who raise sheep, llamas, etc.. and card their own wool and make fabrics, others who do black-smithing, and I feel this is something that would be of immeasurable value in teaching our kids about history and it could also bring a lot of tourism into the county. I'd like to know how you feel about such a possibility, and what your ideas are about how to accomplish this as a reality.
