To understand the 127 Yard Sale, it helps to start on a back road in rural Ohio, where a 12-foot rooster statue towers before a red barn. Alternatively, route to a two-lane stretch in Tennessee, where a vendor’s sign propped inside an open casket promises a “killer deal.”
For nearly 700 miles — stretching along Highway 127 in southern Michigan down to Lookout Mountain Parkway, Alabama — the nation’s longest yard sale winds through open farmland, mountain bluffs and small towns.
