Brushy Mountain Prison -Petros, Tennessee 08 2022

 

We went to Brushy Mountain Prison a few years ago, and I have been looking for an excuse to get back there for some time.  Well, my pal Mark wanted to go, so off we went.

Brushy was a functioning prison from 1896-2009!

Now, its a tourist attraction, and you can go in, look around, do a self guided tour, etc.  I think they always try to have former staff or inmates around.

They have a video about the prison too.  

They have a GREAT restaurant on site, the Warden's Table...  AND they make their own adult beverages!

Check out my video...  this is a very cool place to check out less than a couple of hours away from the Great Smoky Mountains.
