Its been a few years since I've been down there but we usually stay at the Comfort Inn in Gordonsville, just off interstate 40. http://www.comfortinn.com/ires/en-US/html/HotelInfo?hotel=TN003 You can drive to Lafayette, (Macon Co.) from Carthage if you don�t mind the drive. However, we have also stayed at the Hearthstone Inn in Lafayette. You can visit the Library and courthouse in Lafayette. http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/The.Hearthstone.Inn.615-666-7114 Red Boiling Springs also have some bed and breakfast in the old hotels there. They have a library also but you will not find as much there as in Lafayette. http://www.redboilingspringstn.com/hotels-motels.htm I would also recommend the caf� downtown Carthage near the courthouse and library. (If its still there?). The Timberloft in Gordonsville near the Comfort Inn, is a really good place to eat. There is also the Corner Cafe at 5234 Highway 31 E Restoral. Just a little drive out from Lafayette that we found had very good food. The locals may know of other places but as a visitor myself several times these are the places we have chosen and were happy with.

I want to thank everyone for their input. I will write and let you know what I found and where we stayed. It is our first trip to Tennesse and can't wait to get there. We may stay a couple of days just for the fun of it. Wish I could thank you all in person.
