In our vibrant venue known as Superica, our staff will work with you to design an occasion that is truly one of a kind and unforgettable! Our private dining room has space for gatherings of up to thirty people at a time. There is a requirement for a minimum amount of food and drink to be consumed. In addition, we are able to host a buyout of the entire restaurant for up to two hundred and fifty guests! Please use the links provided on our website to obtain additional information. You have made it to the birthplace of the world-famous "Atlanta Stove Works" factory, which also happens to be one of the most hostile and gorgeous deserts in the world. In 1889, the same year that Benjamin Harrison was inaugurated as president of the United States, the Atlanta Stove Works brought the Barrett Range, an innovative cooking device made of cast iron, to the city of Atlanta. Krog Street was the location of the brand-new building that was constructed in the first year that it was in use. The interior is essentially identical to how it was found when it was initially discovered by explorers. You will be able to relive the excitement that they had through your own experience. The restaurant "Superica," which is currently located in the completely renovated factory, is a lively dining room that serves scrumptious Mexican and American cuisine. This cuisine may be more familiar to you under the name "Tex-Mex." Real works of craftsmanship are displayed here in addition to the various curios that may be purchased at this location. The atmosphere of the Old West, which has been preserved, can be enjoyed by all of the guests.

Storytellers Museum and Hideaway Farm sits on a 107-acre property in Bon Aqua, Tennessee that was once Johnny Cash's private retreat for more than 30 years. The Hideaway Farm's centerpiece is a circa-1837 white log farmhouse, restored alongside the American Garage, which displays historic artifacts including the "One Piece at a Time" Cadillac. A newly renovated barn venue with two stages, a dance floor, and an air-conditioned green room anchors the property's event space, set among wooded trails, open fields, and a bonfire area with a firepit built by Cash himself. Down the road, the Storytellers building traces its own history to an 1800s general store that became Red Wortham's recording studio in the 1960s, and later the site of Johnny and June Carter Cash's "Saturday Night in Hickman County" concert series. Restored in 2016, it now operates as an enclosed, weather-proof event space with an adjoining covered courtyard, making it a fitting setting for intimate weddings, songwriter nights, and private gatherings that carry the property's musical history forward.

Johnston Woods sits on 375 wooded acres about 20 minutes north of Chattanooga, in McDonald, Tennessee.

The grounds combine forest, trails, and a lake, giving weddings, retreats, corporate events, and reunions a natural, faith-centered backdrop. Several venues on the property serve different event sizes.

The Museum of Appalachia sits on 60 pastoral acres in Clinton, Tennessee, where founder John Rice Irwin spent half a century gathering the everyday tools, tools, and stories of Southern Appalachia into a living pioneer village. Some three dozen historic log structures, including cabins, barns, churches, and schools, stand alongside gardens and free-range farm animals behind split-rail fences, and three exhibit buildings house over 250,000 folk-art, musical, and textile artifacts. The Museum became a Smithsonian Affiliate in 2007. That rolling, historic backdrop makes the grounds a distinctive setting for weddings and private events. Couples can choose from several outdoor ceremony and reception sites, among them the Grist Mill Field, the Cantilever Barn Field, and the Hall of Fame Lawn, or move indoors to a barn-style reception hall with a full-prep kitchen and antique serving bars. For smaller, more intimate ceremonies, the Museum's 19th century log chapel offers an authentic alternative to its larger outdoor fields. The venue also hosts corporate meetings, trade shows, and group outings against the same rustic backdrop.
