Honeysuckle Hill Farm on NPT's Tennessee Crossroads

Honeysuckle Hill Farm

Springfield, TN

Once upon a time, almost everyone in Tennessee knew a lot about farming. But in these times when family farms are fading away, fewer of us know where our food actually comes from. That is particularly true of children. That is where Honeysuckle Hill Farm comes in. It's a history, dietary and economics lesson all rolled into a fun experience, as Rob Wilds found out when he traveled to Springfield, TN to pay the farm a visit - and he wasn't the only visitor there that day. Watch this and more episode segments of Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads.

Bessie Smith Cultural Center

Chattanooga, TN

A museum may show us a bit about what life looked like, while performers may help bring that past to life for a bit. It isn't too often that both things happen at the same place, but one place where they do is in Chattanooga, TN. Tennessee Crossroads went there to take a look at the Bessie Smith Cultural Center.
