Hale Springs Inn was built in 1824 and has seen notables like President’s Andrew

a treat to stay here.
Saturday will be a time for visiting w/family members, visiting interesting shops in
Rogersville, Touring this lovely old town, time for the Juno Alton Genealogy room at the
library and The Shepherd’s Center a regional ministry center operated by a Livesay
cousin.
The following is about the newly renovated River Place on the Clinch; a very unique
place.
Livesay’s were some of the first people into Tennessee traveling through southern
Virginia into the Kyles Ford Area. Kyles Ford at one time was a thriving community.
There was a mill, several restaurants, and three full service gas stations with
mechanics for repair, grocery stores, a general merchandise hardware store and post
office.
Five years ago, all had disappeared and left just an empty space on the map. Clinch
River’s RC&D purchased an old store on the river at the bridge. They also manage the
Testerman House (a cousin) which has been turned into a conference center and the
1,000 farm. The old store building has been revitalized as an old time country store
with an excellent restaurant. Balconies have been built across the back and side
overlooking the river for additional appeal and on weekends at any given time, there
might be 100 people at River Place to hear old time country music or watch an outdoor
movie.
In addition to the store and conference center, there are canoe and raft rides down the
river and chalet’s for tourist to spend the night and fish or just get away from the noise
of the city.
The old Livesay mill is just around the corner that once was operated by Chris Livesay.
It is closed now, but a reminder of the thriving community that existed many years ago.
