Old School House - Sevierville, Tennessee

Sevierville is Dolly Parten's home growing up. For many years as I have driven past this old school house in Tennessee I wondered if Dolly could have gone there or maybe even her past relatives. I decided this day to photograph it as it is a wonderful element to see if you have any nostalgia about the "days gone by".

This old school building still standing with a large tree growing out of its foundation as if it were holding up the wooden building. In the turret is a small bell that looks as if it were still clanging for children to come and learn as the wind gently blows it back and forth, even now. It stands alone in a field surrounded now by a farmer's cows grazing around it.

I wonder how long before it completely falls apart. I'll keep my eye on it, less we forget.
