I know about Wilder, a deserted ghost town of perhaps several thousand people back in the early 1900s due to the coal mines but you would likely not even find a standing building there today. It runs along a high ridge on the plateau that was always a precarious drive. Numerous switch backs are located at each end of Wilder. If only cemeteries could talk, Its often known as a bad omen and haunted to the mountain people. Mostly Scotch-Irish, Native American and some latin live close there. Its a whole different world there in winter climatology. It snows a lot there and very cold in winter that can last 7 months of the year. Snow is possible from October to April and being rural, not much concern is given. A state highway, TN 85 runs right through it and the same highway connects to Livingston at a distance of 25 miles but takes about an hour to drive it. Below is an interesting post on FB about Wilder, read every comment
