Why do they call it that? Maynardville in Union County
At the Diamond W Trading Post in Maynardville, you can find everything from hand-crafted pocket knives, veterinary supplies, to nostalgic aluminum signs for products sold long ago. You can also find a heaping dose of hometown pride from the shop's owner, veterinarian Tim "Doc" Williams.
"Maynardville is still a small town where everybody knows each other. It is surrounded by one of the cleanest lakes in the state. Norris Lake is tremendous with 800 miles of shoreline and is a big draw for sportsmen," said Williams. "When you consider what a small city this is and how small Union County is, we have had a tremendous amount of success stories."
While some academics may take pride in the county's production of two presidents of Lincoln Memorial University, for many it is the abundance of connections to the entertainment industry that steals the show for Maynardville.
In Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds . Mitchum also wrote the movie's theme song, which describes a moonshine run with the lyrics, "He shot the gap at Cumberland and screamed by Maynardville."
"The old Highway 33 was on Thunder Road, which is now Main Street in Maynardville," said Union County historian Bonnie Peters. "I knew some of the moonshine runners and they were doing it to feed their families. These drivers were also the forerunners for NASCAR, which spawned from these guys racing their cars."
"You had people running moonshine in these old hills and hollers," said Williams. "Right now the main highway here is being widened, but when construction is finished it is my hope that we can have some markers to claim this is the historic Thunder Road."
While the tales of moonshine runners gave Robert Mitchum something to sing about, it is Maynardville's musical heritage that gives locals one of its greatest sources of pride.
"We have just been designated the 'Cradle of Country Music' by the state of Tennessee," said Williams. "Maynardville produced a couple of Country Music Hall of Famers with Carl Smith and Roy Acuff. Just a few miles away in Luttrell, you have other Union County guys like Chet Atkins and Kenny Chesney. For such a small area to produce so much talent is really unique."
"Some people say we didn't have anything else to do except play music, but I don't believe that is why our residents have had so much success," said Peters. "The musical heritage here was a passion that was passed down through families. On Saturday nights, you got together and played music and people just showed up. We had other musicians here that had a chance to play with Roy Acuff in Nashville, but they did not want to leave home.

TowBoatUS Norris Lake, TN Opens | Get Hook'd
Boaters, sailors and anglers who have trouble on Norris Lake with dead batteries, engine difficulties or run out of gas now have a helping hand to call 24 hours a day with the opening of TowBoatUS Norris Lake, Tennessee. The new on-the-water towing service, much like an auto club for boaters, offers an “Unlimited” on-the-water towing service plan for freshwaters that cost just $58 a year, which includes BoatUS or BoatUS Angler membership. To see the new location on a map, go to www.BoatUS.com/norrislake.
The location is owned by Mark Proffitt, who is also owner of the five-year-old, family-run business, Marine Contractors, a full-service boat maintenance, repair and over-the-road boat transport business located on Pinecrest Road in Jacksboro. His wife Linda, son Tyler, and daughter Elisa, are all part of the company.
Proffitt has been boating on Lake Norris since he was 10 years old, when his dad gave him a small runabout. “I probably know the lake as well as anyone else” Proffitt says unassumingly of his over three decades spent on the lake. He also says it’s harder these days to trust your luck to the passing of a Good Samaritan or calling a friend to get you home. “For $58 a year, we’ll be there to get you and your family safely home at any hour, day or night,” said Proffitt. Without a towing plan, boaters face out-of-pocket costs that nationally average about $600 per incident, or $250 per hour.
With a degree in engineering from Pellissippi State, one of his former jobs includes working in research and development at Mercury Marine racing engines, which led to a career as a ChampBoat-2 class racer. These small outboard-powered race boats are just 17 feet long, weigh just 1,150 pounds and are powered by stock engines that give them top speeds of around 120 mph, leading to incredible G-forces as they race around oval in-shore tracks.
Proffitt has a 20-foot center console stationed at Sequoyah Marina ready to go at a moment’s notice. It can be identified by its distinctive red hull, white bow stripes and “TowBoatUS” lettering along its sides, and is fully rigged for marine towing and salvage work, including extra fuel, engine fluids, pumps, dive gear and battery “jump packs” to handle dead batteries. Dive services are also available. Boaters can call the company 24-hours a day at 865-426-9839, through the BoatUS toll-free Dispatch Service at 800-391-4869, or by hailing on VHF radio channel 16.
