TN Agricultural Museum

A blue ribbon goes to the Tennessee Ellington Agricultural Museum in Nashville, TN. I enjoyed my visit there recently. The museum is housed in a renovated plantation barn, and filled with artifacts from a bygone era when farming was a way of life. Also on display are primitive log cabins and seasonal gardens. The vegetable garden features BRANDYWINE, RED FIG, and YELLOW PEAR tomatoes, Cherokee Trail of Tears beans, Civil War peanuts, Red Velvet okra, and other old vegetable varieties, along with many colorful annuals. Admission is free.
