MT. PLEASANT/MAURY PHOSPHATE MUSEUM

MOUNT PLEASANT, TN

It's Pronounced "Santa Fee" When you're in Tennessee, the town of Santa Fe is pronounced different than the way they do it in New Mexico. I suppose this is a little tongue-in-cheek because most visitors to the area probably get it wrong. This is found at Kindred Farm along highway TN247 a couple of miles Southwest of Santa Fe in Maury County.
