You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Experienced This One Incredible Abandoned Place in Tennessee

Sun Valley Swim club was once a very popular spot during the 1960s in Madison, Tennessee. It was where young folks flocked during the humid months, where friends met for a summertime date, and where the tanning was fabulous. Located a bit far out off of Neely’s Bend, the space, now long since abandoned, has become an eerie reminder of what once was. The city now uses the space for storage, but you won’t be swimming here any time soon.
