If I see something interesting, I shoot from the driver's seat or jump out & set up the tripod for a quick click. It's the drive-by life of a photographer on the move. Welcome to my world.

I was on the west side of Nashville Hwy in Columbia, Tennessee photographing a few of the churches, when I happened across the ancestral home of James K. Polk, our 11th President of the United States.

Below is the straight on view from 7th Street.

I walked around the courtyard and took a few photos.

This coming summer I'd like to take a tour of the inside.

You can find some history, tour information and gifts at the President James K. Polk Home & Museum website > www.jameskpolk.com. They even sell a James K. Polk bobblehead!
