Arda E. Lee's Hidden Hollow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arda E. Lee's Hidden Hollow is an 86 acre recreational park in Cookeville,_Tennessee created by Arda E. Lee in the 1970s. Originally the property was a tobacco, corn, and cattle farm owned by Arda's father, Eldridge, and uncle, Everett. In 1952 he purchased the property. When Arda's employer, Lockheed Martin, transferred the tool designer to Marietta, Ga a few years later, the family began making weekend trips to Cookeville,_Tennessee.[1] Some of the features include a 50-foot-tall cross illuminated by more than 40 90-watt floodlights, A fishing and swimming pond, a petting zoo, volley ball courts, playgrounds and picnic areas, and a stuffed deer named "Dee Dee". The attractions on the property were by and large self made and could even be considered outsider art.[2]
