Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel in Oconee County, South Carolina is an incomplete railroad tunnel for the Blue Ridge Railroad of South Carolina in Sumter National Forest. This is now a Walhalla park which also features nearby Isaqueena Falls. A great hike for those who love nature and want to get away for the day. No service so have a map or get one before you start hiking. Absolutely worth it.

This stagecoach inn and plantation home was built around 1815 by James R. Wyly. He strategically located it along the newly constructed Unicoi Turnpike, a busy highway over the Appalachian Mountains. Wyly operated the inn until 1833, when he sold it to his neighbor Devereaux Jarrett, the "richest man in the Tugaloo Valley." Jarrett continued to operate the inn, but doubled its size to make it the homeplace of his 14,400-acre plantation along the Tugaloo River. Three generations of Jarretts inhabited the site until the state of Georgia purchased the remaining few acres of the once-vast plantation for $8,000 in 1955.

It's not your usual car museum. Sean and Larry invite YOU to get your baby out of the garage, out from under that tarp and out where the public can safely cherish your four-wheeled treasure.
That's right, your car or motorcycle can be part of this living museum. MTT will store her, keep her safe and secure and allow the public to experience her beauty. From a safe distance of course. She will proudly sit between Sean and Larry's personal collection for all to see.

From the prehistoric Mound Builders, to the Cherokee, to the 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment running "3 miles up, 3 miles down" - the famous Band of Brothers, Currahee Mountain has witnessed it all. Now Ol' Currahee watches over our sun-kissed vineyards at its feet.
In 2008 Marvin Dunson began to think about using the family farm to produce wines. The family farm, at the base of beautiful Currahee Mountain, had once been an apple orchard owned by Marvin's parents. By 2009 planting had begun that would ultimately lead to award winning wines.
