From the age of nine I grew up in the Cumberland Plateau region of Tennessee
a place I thought had nothing to offer me.
But after living four years in New York City, and four years in Berlin
I came back to explore this area of the Appalachian mountains.
When we heard about the Beersheba Springs Arts and Crafts Fair
a friend and I went to check it out.
It was quaint and reminiscent of an amish village.
It has been a resort since the 19th century.
We visited a beautiful tiny museum.
Inside, among other things hung a black bonnet.
Had it been for mourning?
Later we walked to a tiny pistachio green cinderblock building called “The Little Green Gym.”
Inside the living-room-sized-space was caution tape
an assortment of weights and exercise machines
and a wood stove.
