"No Bones About It" Tour

  Tapirs, gators, red pandas, sloths, painted turtles, shovel-tusked elephants, rhinos, camels, bears and more...

In cooperation with the ETSU Museum of Natural History and the Gray TN Fossil Site, we have created a unique tour..."No Bones About It"...to introduce visitors to the only Miocene Epoch site in this part of the country.  The 4.5 million to 7 million years old dig was first discovered by road crews in 2000.  It has evolved into a 33,000 square foot Visitors' Center which houses a multi-media classroom, permanent and temporary exhibit halls, snack bar, and gift shop.  Stroll through the exhibits where you can learn about the earth and its inhabitants first-hand, or participate in our extended tour where you can "get down and get dirty" while working alongside some of the paleontologists who can answer your questions.

Positive Solutions is always in a learning mode, adding to our wealth of information so we can share the stories with you!!

Your guide will share the legends, stories and unusual happenings of Jonesborough's past and present on this ghostly tour. Some have called this a ghost walk, others a sharing of mysteries, decide for yourself. It is exciting and titillating and most important, it's good old fashion fun.

The stories will be a little different on each tour because the oldest town in Tennessee has far too many stories to share on just one dark evening. Legends, Whispers and Mysteries is a tasteful blend of stories and legends handed down from family to family and hearth to hearth.
