City of Athens
Stop by the museum for a new book signing: See Rock City Barns! Travel Journalist Judy Garrison and her husband Len, an award winning travel photographer, are releasing a new book detailing the famous Rock City Barns. From the author: “With two years of research and road trips, this historical book chronicles the evolution of the ingenious marketing idea of painting barns as advertising. From the first painter Clark Byers to the repainting of a few that remain (900 originally and now, 40 standing) to the home owners to Rock City's patriarch Bill Chapin to the Tennessee Titans to Yee Haw Brewing, the story is vast.”
