Arda E. Lee's Hidden Hollow

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.

The attractions on the property were by and large self made and could even be considered outsider art.
