More fog greeted us, but the sun quickly burned it off.
Today we have a short trip to Grand Harbor, a nice condominium complex and large 325-slip marina.
The docks of the marina are in the state of Mississippi, but when you step on shore, we are back in Tennessee! The resort has courtesy cars, one of which we used to get groceries and to sightsee.
One stop was Savannah, Tennessee, which we had passed on the river the prior day. The signature riverboat motif is stamped into the sidewalks there. We visited the Tennessee River Museum, which chronicles the Mississippian mound builders from 1200 AD, the Civil War, the age of steamboats, and the river today.
On the Savannah walking tour, the Cherry Mansion is privately owned, but they welcome photographers. We learned this home, built in 1830, served as the headquarters for General U.S. Grant just prior to the battle of Shiloh. Reportedly, the Cherry family members were Union sympathizers.
The Ross House features an Ionic two-story portico, single-storey wraparound porches, and its interior and exterior unaltered from its 1908 construction. Check out all of the latest locations for Monarch at - http://greatloop.org/mod/aglcalocator/membermap.php?id=1601
