The Duke Story

Road Trip, States, Tennessee


A couple of years ago when we were staying at this KOA, some folks staying near us told us about the fun they’d had at the Bush’s Beans Factory Museum. It’s been on “our list” ever since.

 The museum/visitors center shows a film not about Duke, the dog who knew too much, but about the history of the Bush’s general store and cannery business. There’s a virtual factory tour and many displays about the history of the mercantile and food industry over the last century and a quarter.

  

There’s a bit about historical preservation and a bit about needle crafts. Perhaps the most endearing part of this customer relations enterprise is that vistors get to go home with a photograph of themselves and Duke, the Bush family dog!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
