History — http://www.corporateofficehq.com/cracker-barrel-corporate-office/ Cracker Barrel was founded in
1969 by Dan Evins near Lebanon, TN, as a way to improve gasoline sales for Shell Oil. In the 70s, many of the
restaurants were built with gas pumps on site. The chain began to do away with this practice during the gas
shortage of the late 70s/early 80s. In 1981, the company went public. By 1987, there were 50 locations in 8
states. The company grew quickly during the 80s and 90s. By 1997, there were 314 locations.
In 2012, company founder Dan Evins died of bladder cancer. Today, there are over 600 locations in 42 US
states. The Cracker Barrel corporate office is still located in Lebanon, TN.

Cracker Barrel History
Over 600 Stores in 42 States, all owned by a
company that has no plans for franchising so
that we can maintain the consistency that our
guests rely upon.
Dan Evins, working in the family gasoline business back in the late 1960s, saw that the interstate system and
fast food was becoming the rage, and he believed meals weren't meant to be swallowed down in three bites with
a squirt of ketchup. He thought about simple, honest country food, and a store where you could buy someone a
gift that was actually worth having — a country store / general store / trading post.
The first Cracker Barrel location opened on Sept. 19, 1969. A trip to the original Cracker Barrel was a lot like a
friendly visit to a neighbor's home. The early stores also sold gasoline, which makes sense since you'll recall
that Dan was in the family's oil business. But when the oil embargo of the mid-seventies hit, new stores were
built without the pumps and today, they're out of the gasoline business altogether. So, if you're pulling in to a
Cracker Barrel parking lot, make sure it's just your stomach that's on empty.
Things are likely to stay this way, too. Call it nostalgia if you want, but the goal isn't simply to recreate to a
time gone by – it's to preserve it. Because the way we see it, the lifestyle of rural America isn't about where
you live. It's about how you live.

There is a ghost cat that haunts the library. Where it came from and why it is haunting the library is unknown.
He may belong to the little girl ghost who also haunts the library, although they have never been seen together.

Haunted !
On the evening of March 5, 2001 at approximately 9:45 p.m., I was in my office at the Cumberland University
Library in Lebanon, TN when I saw a ghost cat come floating across my office floor and disappear among the
boxes stored under the table behind my desk. I did not see any legs or paws and no motion like a normal cat
walking on a floor. The apparition was near the floor, about the right height for a cat, but it appeared to be gliding
smoothly through the air instead of touching the floor. I couldn't tell if it came in through the door or came from
under my desk. Hallucinating? Nerves? Heard too many ghost stories about Cumberland? Gone gaga? I don't
know for sure, but I swear that I did see a cat-like something sail across the room and disappear. It appeared to be
gray in color, but I could not discern many features, as it appeared to be willowy and in the general shape of a cat.
There were other people in the library, and I had just gotten up from my desk to make my nightly rounds prior to
closing when I saw the figure.
According to Dr. Frank Burns, Cumberland's archivist, we have a ghost of a little girl in the library. He and a
former librarian have seen her. She appears to be dressed in white and so far as is known, she has been seen only
by these two people. The former librarian would sometimes play peek-a-boo with her around the checkout desk.
No one knows who she might be. I have not seen her, but I have had an eerie feeling some nights, especially when
I am back in the Clement Room and Castle Heights Room. The sensation is like a feeling or vibration that
something else is there even though I have never seen or heard anything out the ordinary, except for the ghost cat in
my office. — John D. Boniol, Vise Library

The museum is filled with artifacts that was used on Wilson County farms for many generations. Most of the
farms were self-sufficient so the family had to make or improvise for all their needs. Some of the items are
handmade to fit specific needs on the farm. The entire collection has been donated for exhibit, with a few
exceptions of items that are on permanent loan. A lot of the rare items are labeled to help you identify the name.
We are still collecting rare and old tools and items from the early period of frontier days. The barn was
dismantled and relocated to Fiddlers Grove in 1993.

Who is Lee Marshall? Lee grew up in Louisville, KY, went to Sacred Heart Academy and worked at Bremner
Biscuit Co. while getting an AAS in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University. She later earned a BS
in Engineering from Michigan State University and an MBA from Keller Graduate School. She spent 30
years in "Corporate America" as an engineer and executive in the Pharmaceutical / Medical Device industry.
During this time, she discovered pottery-making. She made so much pottery, she didn't know what to do with it,
so she did her first art fair. When someone gave her money for pots she couldn't give away to friends and family,
it opened her eyes to many possibilities.
Silver Ridge Pottery
In the 90s Lee realized that she could leave the corporate world behind and devote her time to her passion for
making pots. She spent two years searching for property, designing the house and studio, and using her
engineering skills to manage the building project.
In 1996, Lee established Silver Ridge Pottery on a ten-acre mountain side in the small community of Pulltight,
outside of Lebanon, _____ miles from the Fairgrounds. She now produces fine porcelain vessels, which can be
seen at galleries, gift shops, art fairs, and private collections all over the world.
Give her a call and schedule a visit.

The Fessenden House that contains the museum was
built after the Civil War on land granted by the state of
North Carolina to James Meness, Jr., a serviceman in
the Revolutionary War. The home has been restored
and donated to the city to house more than 100 years of
history.
THE TRAIL OF TEARS, a historic event in which
many southern Indian tribes were forced to move from
their respective home sites to as far away as Oklahoma,
is etched in Wilson County's history. For two years,
from 1826 to 1828, these American natives passed on a
trail from east to west through Wilson County.
