Looks like this rock is the place to be seen:

Vintage photo ops from Tennessee's precarious Umbrella Rock
 
First one is made particularly Wes Anderson-esque by the little boy clutching a knife and keenly contemplating the assassination of his evil-looking aunt.

Fourth one has prominently placed black man of dignified appearance, amongst an otherwise white group of gents. Unusual for the era?
 
I'd say brave of him for that era.
My theory is that he has acquired his status by being a renowned puppeteer, and that the gentleman immediately below his left hand is in fact a life-sized marionette.

In fact, on further examination, the possibility emerges that he is showing off his full set of nine life-sized Caucasian marionettes as a publicity shot for his review.
