"Love history randomly driving thru town and saw the sign. Made that turn, but make the first right to see it. We drove pass and pulled into someone's drive way."
"One of the coolest roadside attractions on Highway 15 about 80 miles south of Athens!"
"Crude log building where VP Aaron Burr spent the night on his way back to stand trial for treason. I would not make a special trip, but if it is close by or on your way to someplace else definitely stop and stretch your legs and check it out."
