Sunnybank, a beautiful Italianate Victorian home, was built by Charles D. Merritt in 1875, but changed to a boarding house for travelers at the turn of the 20th century. But, not just an ordinary house, the role it played in Madison County’s music heritage has it now placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Now for over three decades, Elmer Hall and fellow staffers have served up southern hospitality to thousands of guests and trail hikers from all over the country and world. They offer guests a warm environment where they serve the best and healthiest vegetarian meals.
