Visitors to the Big South Fork National Park in Jamestown, Tennessee, traveling up State Highway 127 north, will feel the tug as they approach the Cumberland Country Store in Clarkrange. Heads turn and the car slows…
Who can resist a "hole in the wall" country store, with its wagon wheels, milk crates, antique tools, old bottles and massive pieces of furniture?
There's something in there for everyone and browsers rarely leave empty handed. Some of the "repro" items are just amusing and make great souvenirs and mementos of a trip to Tennessee. I love the bag that reads "Ain't nothin' like a mint julep and a joint!" (and I've seen it made into curtains in more than one cabin.)
It gets better the farther into the store you go. There in the back is the 50's Café, with its black-and-white tiled floor, soda fountain chairs and Elvis Presley rock n' roll theme. If you're looking for a big ole' burger and fries, that's where you get great food at a great price; you won't go away hungry and you certainly won't have room for a banana split.
That's a favorite lunch spot for locals too who know a good thing when they see it!
