Maple Lane

This beautiful, maple-lined lane is part of Grace Meadows Farm located in Jonesburough, TN.

The facility plays hot to weddings as well as serving up a wonderful menu of southern comfort dishes for breakfast and dinner. This lane leads to a private residence, so not wanting to intrude, we parked outside the gate and walked in a short distance to photograph this amazing group of fall maples at the height of their brilliant color. A somewhat hazy sky subdued the morning sun to help even out the lighting. The white fence lining the lane seems to create a Tennessee welcome.
From the town website:  “History comes to life in this 18th-century town. Its well-preserved Main Street will take you on a beautiful journey through the past. Jonesborough is proud of its diverse history and the people who’ve made Tennessee’s Oldest Town so special.” Also, “In 1973, a local teacher, Jimmy Neil Smith, pulled a hay wagon into the shadow of the courthouse and invited Appalachian storytellers to share their stories. No one knew it at the time, but a renaissance was about to ignite. From these humble beginnings, the International Storytelling Festival was born.” Want a unique Tennessee experience?
