Whoa whoa whoa – an elephant sanctuary?! In Tennessee? This has to be some kind of joke, right? Actually, it’s not. The famed Hohenwald elephant sanctuary provides a refuge for elephants that have been in captivity, shuttled in from places like Nashville or Memphis. It was founded in 1995, and operates as the largest natural-habitat refuge for the gentle giants.
