Someone in here once asked about Monterey. It's a small town, a former coal-mining town about 10 miles east of Cookeville and 20 miles west of Crossville. Way back in the good old days it was somewhat of a resort town; trains from Nashville would bring people to Monterey in the summer because of its higher elevation. There used to be a half-dozen hotels in Monterey around the old train station, which has since disappeared. Only one of the old hotels is still there.
