Flat Fork Creek pours over Debord Falls in Frozen Head State Park and Natural Area Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009 near Wartburg, Tenn. (Adam Brimer/News Sentinel)Wartburg, Tenn., in Morgan County has German roots and a big prison while nearby Rugby began as a utopian colony in English Victorian style, and they are near some of the most rugged wilderness in Tennessee. The obvious differences combine for a special experience on the Cumberland Plateau.
Even New York has envied the area. A travel columnist’s article published in the New York Times in 1981 about a visit to Rugby presented the town’s Victorian atmosphere as a definite delight.
Rugby remains essentially the same since then, and Wartburg retains its own captivating charm.
