Tourists visit the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tenn.If you ask around Lynchburg, many locals can tell you exactly how many generations removed they are from “Mr. Jack,” or can at least relate a story their granddad told them about the famous liquor baron.
And though the town that whiskey built still has deep ties to the Jack Daniel Distillery, Lynchburg offers many other opportunities for good, clean Southern fun.
So after a tour of the distillery, stick around for some fried chicken and cornbread, drop a line in the Elk River or hop a carriage; it may well be pulled by a horse whose line has been in the area for a century.
