This past weekend my family and I went to Carterville, Tennessee for my mom’s birthday. While growing up my mom loved nature so we went to Big South Fork park. Big south Fork encompasses 125,000 acers of the Cumberland Plateau which was a beautiful view.
As we drove up to the entrance there was a young lady waiting for us ready to show us all about the park. Starting with the parks history. Before commercial logging and coal mining the park was called a 'No Business' which was a community. This community had a little over 300 as there population. Many men went to into world war II leaving the community in 1939 and many families left as well. The last man to leave the community was Dewey Slaven in 1960.
