This is the famous Walking Horse Hotel in Wartrace, Tennessee. It was built as a hotel for this tiny railroad town in 1917. Known as the Overall Hotel, its base group of patrons were horse trainers that began the annual horse show, the Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration in 1939. So they changed the named to the Walking Horse Hotel in the show’s honor. The hotel’s owner Floyd Carothers trained the Celebration’s first winner named Strolling Jim and the horse is buried near the hotel today. It’s a landmark in Wartrace and has been said to be haunted.
