It was there before there was a road. When there was only a trail. The way to go from Louisville and reach Nashville. To enter the South and all of its potential commerce. So it was called the “Dixie Highway.” Long before the railroad was built down there. That was constructed just in time for the Civil War. Tens of thousands of Union Troops outflanked Confederate General Braxton Bragg in 1862 by hiking along the same road on which you are now moving. Many would turn around and march back over to meet Union General Bragg’s army and their deaths at the Battle of Perryville.
