Welcome to the World's Longest Yardsale, also known as the 127 Corridor Sale... 630 Miles - From Defiance, Ohio to Gadsden, Alabama! Plan now to attend in 2008, August 7-10. The Sale is headquartered in Jamestown, Tennessee at the Fentress County Chamber of Commerce. Hundreds of thousands of folks join us each year for this fun-filled event, spanning 630 miles and five states. It's impossible to keep track of how many shoppers and vendors we have, but it's grown to be the biggest and best event of its kind in the world. You'll find homeowners selling stuff they've accumulated throughout the years as well as professional dealers and vendors. It's almost impossible for shoppers to cover the entire route in four days, so be prepared to pick up where you leave off next year! You're going to discover some neat places, interesting people, and quaint stops that you'll probably want to visit again and again. So pack your camera, sunglasses, a good pair of walking shoes, and plenty of cash- you're in for the World's Longest Yardsale! www.127sale.com/map of 127 Corridor www.127sale.com/Back%20Brochure%20for%20Web.pdf |

Sgt. Alvin C. York Historic Park General Delivery - Highway 127 Pall Mall , TN 38577 931-879-6456 The historic park includes the York family farm and the grist mill he operated for many years on the banks of the Wolf River. Historic Park The Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park, located in Pall Mall, Tennessee, pays tribute to Sgt. Alvin C. York, the backwoods marksman from the mountains of Tennessee who became one of the most decorated soldiers of World War I. York's fame rose from his legendary exploits on October 8, 1918 in the Argonne Forest in France. Leading a small patrol, York was sent out to eliminate flanking machine gun fire that was halting the advance of his regiment. York found himself alone opposing a German machine gun unit. With rifle and pistol he engaged the enemy. The fight ended with more than twenty Germans dead. Then, the other one hundred and thirty-two soldiers, including four officers and thirty-five machine guns, became discouraged and surrendered to York and six of his comrades. For that he was decorated with a dozen medals, including the Congressional Medal of Honor and the French Croix de Guerre. He has been honored by a 10-foot statue on the grounds of the State Capitol in Nashville, and his medals and trophies may be seen at the Tennessee State Museum. www.tennessee.gov/environment/parks/SgtYork/ |
