A fairly new bronze statue made to put out side the one that use to stand out here was restored and put in the lobby.
The main entrance to the JACK DANIELS DISTRILLERY















Jacks old office with the safe that he kicked in a mad fit when it wouldn't open one morning. He got an infection in the toe and waited to long to have it cared for and lost his foot then his leg and his life from the infection.









We drove down to Lynchburg to go through the Jack Daniels Distillery, very pretty setting and FREE. The tour is about 1 1/2 hours, takes you through the whole process of making whiskey. The tour guide does give you a good smell of the finished product, it was so strong you were sure you had a taste. When the tour is over they serve lemonade to everyone. The County is dry, which means no liquor sold in the county, which is strange they have a huge whiskey distillery. No gift shop on site but the town is just a block away. The population of Lynchburg is 331. A charming town square surrounds the 100-year-old courthouse. A neat place to browse through a variety of unique shops, which we did. The weather was a cool 78 so was enjoyable. They have all kinds of Jack Daniels gifts etc, a tourist trap but cute, we enjoyed walking around and picked up some Christmas gifts. We visited with a man that has a laser engraver similar to Manuels, we picked each others brain and shared ideas, bought a bunch of stuff from his store.
