“It is home to the Carter Family Fold, the home of the Carter Family , country music and June Carter Cash, wife of Johnny Cash.”
Does she still live there?
No, she died years ago.
The Carter Fold is now run by sons and maybe grandsons.
It is still Mecca and most desired credit for blue grass bands
One other totally irrelevant factoid.
On Clinch Mountain, there is the obsolete Mendota Fire Tower. It is on the mountain just over Mendota
Every fall, lots of bird watchers climb the mountain to make a continuous watch and count of raptors. It is all rigorously mapped out so there is always someone there during the migration to make the count.
The hawks of all species migrating south follow the Clinch mountain line by the thousands. The faithful bird watchers meticulously spot, identify and record the passages. It is said that the continuous air currents up lifted by the extremely long Clinch Mountain ridgeline make soaring easier thus reducing the burden of the long flight south.
If you are a bird person and want to see lots of raptors of all species, the Mendota Fire Tower is the place to go.
