Both are good tourist destination (Ruby Falls, Lookout Mtn., Rock City in Chattanooga and the NASA museum and Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville). Roger in Jacksonville, FL   William C.

But, concur, out of the way. Stayed there twice and had a pleasant, scenic (slow) drive via rural roads to Millington   James H.

Its a beautiful base, even has boats to rent for use on a reservoir. And there are tons of deer. But its a long way off the interstate. And I prefer Dickel to Jack.

There were an abundance of deer that are used to the cars.

We have been passing this sign for years but today we had little more time and went by. It is a very nice museum in a park across the runway from the airport terminal. We saw how big it was and decided we would not go through it today but will go back. We met the manager whose husband is retired Army and they have never been Space a. My first Space A flight was on an SN Beechcraft out of Barbers Point Hawaii to Hilo and back in 1961. Below is the link. http://www.beechcraftheritagemuseum.org/photo_gallery/model_18.shtml One more thing. Everyone knows that Jack Daniel is at Lynchburg down the road from Tullahouma but not many know that George Dickel is made near Tullahouma. They do have tours. They say George Dickel tastes the way it does because "George Dickel is the only Tennessee whisky to chill the whiskey before it goes into the charcoal mellowing vats."
