A note on John Rice Irwin's Museum of Appalachia. You can see the museum through the Union County TnGenWeb Page or access it directly at this url: http://thesmokies.com/features/places/norris_tn/index.htm Also if you are in the area take a drive through the town of Norris, just above the Museum. Here is a town where time has stood still. Kids still wald to school on sidewalks, and the community still gets together for social events. It looks like something from Andy Griffith. I am told the only crime there is that tourist come there and stay. Hope this helps, Chip Union County TnGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnunion
