“Walking Tall in adamsville tennessee”
He wrestled and defeated a live grizzly bear. He led a violent but successful campaign against moonshiners, gamblers, prostitutes and organized crime figures. His unusual methods of law enforcement earned him notoriety. He became a local legend for his heroics and at the same time gained him dangerous enemies. This was the man – BUFORD PUSSER – the man who became the target of many assassination attempts – one of which took the life of his wife and left him emotionally and physically scarred. The man who eventually became the subject of four Walking Tall major motion pictures, including the latest staring big screen actor “The Rock”, which tell about his intriguing life and tragic death. The Buford Pusser Home and Museum stands as a moment in time, as if waiting for Sheriff Buford Pusser to return home from another shift serving the public. The modest brick ranch home contains the original furnishings, photos, cars, guns and memorabilia of the Pusser family.
Great tour of the home of the man who inspired the Walking Tall movies. Lots of memorabilia and a couple of Buford's original cars in the garage. Home appears to be in its original 60/70s state. Read more
