Hank Williams Jr.'s rendition of the red-neck anthem If Heaven Ain't a Lot Like Dixie (Then I Don't Want to Go) should be spitting out of your car radio as you make the more than 150-mile drive from Pigeon Forge to Fort Mill, S.C.

If Hannibal had been so athletic, Carthage might never have fallen. The Singapore exhibit has a replica of a local market, right down to herbs, teas and garish magazines, and the Italian has replicas of Marconi's original radio sets...
