Traveling & Would Love Stops

Happy holidays! I am finally making the trip from Michigan to Nashville in the next week for a couple of days to see Hatch Show Print. I’m so excited and already have my tickets for the tour.

I am wondering if there are any letterpress print shops or historical places along the way I should stop to visit too. It looks like I’m taking I65 but also will deviate from the route.

I’m a Print Design instructor for a high school along with the owner of several presses that I’m still learning how to operate. So, anything I can see or learn about on the trip would be fun. Thank you in advance!
