Recorded in Cowan, Tennessee
This snapshot was gathered in conjunction with the Museum on Main Street program at the Smithsonian Institution and its "Stories from Main Street" initiative. The project is intended to capture Americans' impressions and stories about their small-town and rural neighborhoods, waterways, personal experiences, and cultural traditions, and work histories.
What do you remember about your small town?
Speaker 1: Actually, when we first moved here, you would not believe this, but from Winchester out to AAFB, it was not even gravel, it was a dirt road.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I tell you, the clods, in clods of dirt and dust. That's another thing I do remember. The interstate hadn't been built here when we left. They were kind of late on that.
