Old Texaco Ad barn

This is quiate an old, faded advertisement mounted on a barn near Dickson, TN. This as was meant to reach westbound travelers on Interstate 40 before exit 172. Alas, this is quite a busy area today and the Texaco appears to be no more.

If you can't read it, it has the Texaco logo at top. the next line, which has been partially covered up to keep the tractors from being exposed to the elements has GROC NEXT EXIT BEER

As I was driving down I-40, I wondered if I saw this the way I thought I did out of the corner of my eye, and I spent the next 30 minutes hunting down this barn.

Vintage Cowan, TN Texaco

the local vinatge gas station has been preserved and now is used as a museum and tourist welcome center. This station is located near the important transportation intersection of highway US 41A before the ascent to Sewanee and the CSX train line before it begins its ascent to the Cumberland Mtn Tunnel.

The station still has three gas pumps, one for sky cheif and 2 for fire chief. In the service station, the museum has a 1936 Ford and a 1950 Ford.

Cowan has also preserved one of it's old fire engines that still gets the job when the call comes in.

Lynchburg, TN Welcome Center

Located at the corner of TN55 and the turn to the Lynchburg town square, the welcome center is a converted and restored vintage Texaco gas station, along with its Fire Chief pump.

I am not sure what kind of wood-sided vintage wagon is parked here. It has the logo of Jack Daniels and the Lynchburg Hardware Store. Also, an old whiskey barrel is used as a flower planter.
