GUINNESS HALL OF WORLD RECORDS

Gatlinburg, Tennessee - 1979

There has been an attraction based on the record breaking GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS in the Great Smoky Mountains town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee for decades. 

Until recently it was filled with exhibits of great feats. The largest, smallest, fastest, tallest were all there and displays showed off - to the education (and amusement) of visitors - those that deserved to be known as 'record breakers.'
