allatin’s long and rich his-tory is evidenced by archae-ological finds that indicate occupation by Paleoindian,

Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian cultures in the dis-

tant past. Two easily accessible prehistoric mounds stand at Castalian Springs, where Native Americans for centuries came to hunt wild game.

Long hunters first came to the region in 1765. They were followed by James Smith in 1766 and Isaac Bledsoe and others in 1771–72. The first permanent settler was the fearless Thomas Sharp Spencer, who earned that description by living several months in the hollow of a sycamore tree at Bledsoe’s Lick in 1776, planting crops and building cabins. By 1783 settlers had erected Bledsoe Fort and others for protection against Indian attack.

In 1786 the North Carolina General Assembly created Sumner County, naming it for Revolutionary War Gen. Jethro Sumner. The rolling hills and well-watered lands attracted many pioneer leaders. However,

Native Americans did not passively accept this frontier advance, and periodic warfare resulted in the deaths of both Natives and settlers. The opening of wagon roads, the influx of new settlers, and a preemptive strike at the Native American raiders’ base village of Nickajack ended the wars by 1795.

North Carolina ceded its western lands, the Tennessee country, to the federal govern-ment when it ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1789. Congress approved the admission of Tennessee on June 1, 1796, making it the 16th state of the Union. Cairo emerged as an early trade center and important port along the Cumberland River. However, in 1801, the general assembly authorized the purchase of 41.5 acres from Capt. James Trousdale, there establishing Gallatin as the Sumner County seat in 1804.

With the exception of an agricultural depression from 1821 to 1823 and cholera epidemics in 1849 and 1852, the first half of the 19th century was a period of growth, development, and recognition. William Trousdale served as governor of Tennessee,

and the advantages of his position provided the region with improved roads, a stagecoach line, river trade, and ferry services, leading to the establishment of approximately 30 com-munities and, according to the 1820 census, a total of 54 manufacturing concerns, mostly distilleries and mills.

The county experienced an architec-tural boom during the 1800s. Among the more than 100 showplace homes were James Winchester’s Cragfont (1802), John Bowen’s Trousdale Place (1822), Josephus Conn Guild’s Rose Mont (1840s), and Isaac Franklin’s Fairvue (1832). National reputa-tions and fortunes amassed by owners of the several estates came from plantation-based agriculture and the raising of thoroughbred racehorses.

In 1862 Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan defeated Union forces at the battle of Gallatin but soon afterward withdrew, and the county was in Federal control for the rest of the war. The Union army hired local African Americans as contract labor, and in Gallatin African-American residents enlisted

HISTORY

{in the Union army’s Thirteenth and Fourteenth U.S. Colored Troops.

Following the war, freed African Americans estab-lished several communities, including Village Green and Free Hill, and organized the nation’s first agricultural fair created by and for African-American citizens. The fair remained an annual event for nearly 100 years. By the 20th century, Gallatin’s African-American leadership had established strong churches and schools; businesses such as restaurants, dry cleaners, taxi services, and bar-bershops; and an African-American baseball team, the Travelers.

The early 20th century brought added emphasis to agriculture. Portland’s strawberry industry expanded, and the location of a Kraft Cheese plant in Gallatin in 1928 provided a ready outlet for increased dairy production. Out-of-state money underwrote the formation of the Southland Grasslands Hunt & Racing Foundation, which attempted to establish new steeplechase traditions in Tennessee “bluegrass” country.

With the Corps of Engineers’ construction of Old Hickory Dam on the Cumberland River in the early 1950s, TVA built a steam electric generating plant at Gallatin. The net result was new jobs, new recreational opportunities, and a housing boom along the hundreds of miles of lake shoreline.

Educational opportunities within the county expanded with the opening of Volunteer State Community College at Gallatin in 1969. Employment opportunities were further increased with the addition of 31 new industries and the expansion of over 120 others.

Sumner County Historic Sites

Cairo Rosenwald SchoolThe Rosenwald schools were originally built by Julius

Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington between 1918 and 1932 as part of a school-building program for African Americans in the rural South. Only about 10 percent of the more than 5,300 buildings constructed remain stand-ing today; many are in serious disrepair.

The Cairo Rosenwald School, just east of Gallatin, is one of the survivors. Through a $50,000 grant from Lowe’s Foundation and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, it has been completely repaired and restored and stands as an important part of Tennessee’s heritage.

Tennessee Preservation Trust (TPT) Executive Director Dan Brown noted, “The Cairo Rosenwald School repre-sents how a building can anchor its community, provid-ing a space for education and fellowship that is shared by generations.”

Trousdale Place


{Cragfont

Cragfontwww.cragfont.com

In 1798, construction began on James Winchester’s manor house, Cragfont. Stone masons, carpenters, and joiners came 600 miles through the wilderness from Winchester’s native Maryland to construct his mansion.

Winchester resided in this home until his death in 1826. Notable guests who vis-ited Cragfont include Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston, and John Overton.

Cragfont shows the grandeur and style of the best of the late Georgian homes. Built of gray rough-finished Tennessee limestone, quarried on site, and poplar, walnut, cherry, and ash hand-hewn and cut from the sur-rounding virgin forest, Cragfont was in sharp contrast to the typical log houses of the area.

Seven iron stars on the façade serve as anchor plates for iron rods that extend from front to rear to strengthen and tie the struc-ture together. In the attic, the intricate king post truss system was used, with the beams put together with wooden pegs. The construc-tion is similar to an inverted boat and gives us a clue that the carpenters were familiar with shipbuilding.

Inside, visitors can see the original stencil-ing on the parlor walls, the stippling on the parlor mantel and stair risers, the original woodwork and flooring, the kitchen, and the second-floor ballroom, the first in the Tennessee country. The house is furnished with authentic American Federal antiques. In the basement, visitors can see a typical weav-ing room, wine cellar, and a collection of farm and carpentry tools from the early 1800s.

The Palace Theatrewww.mainstreetgallatin.com

The Palace thrived as a community the-ater from 1913 until 1977 and was a focal point on the historic downtown square. It has the distinction of being Tennessee’s oldest silent movie theater still standing in its origi-nal location. Private, public, corporate, and state donations as well as grant money have restored The Palace and once again made it a viable part of downtown Gallatin. Movies are shown each weekend and the theater is used for lectures, recitals, concerts, and other events. It has been made a local historic land-mark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Rose Montwww.historicrosemont.com

Originally a working thoroughbred horse and longhorn cattle farm of 500 acres, Rose


Mont was the home of Josephus Conn Guild and Katherine Blackmore Guild. The name “Rose Mont” references the once extensive rose garden at the north side of the house. A smaller rose garden exists today near the original location.

The house was built from 1836 to 1842. Guild, a frequent visitor to New Orleans, was influenced by the architecture there and incorporated Creole design elements in Rose Mont, including wide porches, large windows, open-air halls and staircases, separate wings connected by loggias and galleries, a raised basement, and an extended roof. The main façade is based on classic Palladian design.

The accomplished Josephus Conn Guild was an attorney, author, orator, sol-dier, legislator, thoroughbred horseman, and judge. Notable guests entertained at Rose Mont included James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson.

The home is recognized as one of Tennessee’s outstanding Greek Revival houses by the National Register of Historic Places.

Trousdale Placewww.trousdaleplace.org

Standing just two city blocks west of Gallatin’s downtown square is Trousdale Place, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a destination on the state of Tennessee’s Civil War Trail.

Trousdale Place was built circa 1813 by John H. Bowen, a local attorney and member of Congress. Bowen died in 1822, and the house was later acquired by Gov. William Trousdale.

The house is open for tours by appoint-ment and private rentals and is part of the Sumner County Tour program. On display is original Trousdale furniture, and there is a small Confederate library. A monument on the front lawn recognizes Sumner County’s contribution to the Confederate States, as well as Trousdale’s military accomplishments.

The Sumner County Museumwww.sumnercountymuseum.org

The Sumner County Museum began in the 1970s with the vision of John Garrott, a Gallatin businessman and history buff. In the early 1970s, Robert Ramsey contributed money and items for the establishment of a museum.

Over the years many people have donated or loaned items to the museum, including the first pumper fire engine of Gallatin, a workable tinsmith shop, a blacksmith shop, and a music exhibit. A military area covering

the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Vietnam War is of particular interest.

In recent years the museum’s travel trunk project has delivered special history lessons to Sumner County School’s third, fourth, and fifth graders. A hands-on presentation

teaches children what life was like in the 1700–1800s.

One of the museum’s most popular events is the Gallatin Candlelight Cemetery Tour. Held on the first Saturday of October, actors depict those buried in the cemetery, sharing interesting facets of their lives with visitors.

Regionalism Rules

The concept of regionalism is an important one

for the city of Gallatin and Sumner County. Several

organizations meet regularly to develop projects

and programs that benefi t areas throughout

middle Tennessee.

“We participate in the Metropolitan Planning

Organization (MPO), the Regional Transportation

Authority (RTA), and the Greater Nashville

Regional Council (GNRC),” said County Executive

Anthony Holt. “These groups help determine the

distribution of federal and state funds, provide

planning assistance, help us with acquiring grants,

and offer a variety of services for our citizens.”

A newer group with a regional focus, the

Middle Tennessee Mayors Caucus, is chaired

by Gallatin Mayor Jo Ann Graves. Formed in

the summer of 2009 to focus on solutions to

problems shared by communities across the

region, this group will examine issues including

air and water quality, needed infrastructure,

storm-water management, limited fi nancial

resources, and the need for mass transit.

“I think it speaks volumes that Mayor Graves

is chairing this new caucus,” Holt said. “This puts

Gallatin and Sumner County in the forefront as we

address regional opportunities and issues.”

The Sumner County Joint Economic and

Community Development Board provides a means

for Gallatin offi cials to meet with their counterparts

from throughout the county several times a year.

“We convene quarterly and receive updates

from the mayors, economic and community

development directors, and other city offi cials,”

said Holt, who chairs this group. “I think it’s

benefi cial for all of us to sit around the table and

learn what’s going on in our cities and county

from the people who are making it happen. This

cooperation helps us formulate strategies to make

us more competitive on state and national levels

for business and industrial development, as well

as maintain our excellent quality of life.”

KrogerGallatin is robust with “mom-and-pop”

shops, department stores, and discount retailers, but it has recently attracted a few that have garnered a lot of excitement from local shoppers. One of these is Gallatin’s new Kroger store, anchoring the Savannah Marketplace development at Cages Bend Road and Nashville Pike.

“The only other one in the state like it is at Thompson’s Station,” said Dan Downs, devel-oper of Savannah Marketplace. “It is the cen-terpiece of a 66-acre shopping development. It is a myriad of high-end things, including a bakery, a big gourmet station with chefs preparing gourmet meals, sushi, health and organic foods, a toy department, the regular grocery store, a “Bed Bath & Beyond”-type area, a clinic, and a drug store. It is an upscale, full-service grocery store.

“[Kroger] studied the area with in-house marketing people and four outside marketing companies over a five-year period, and they determined this justified the biggest store

they [will build],” Downs said. “Not only with the existing homes and the demograph-ics of the area, but with all of the projects that are already approved around the site. There are about 14,000 new homes approved for the area.”

Providing an excellent option for shop-pers, Kroger is projected to produce $1.1 mil-lion in tax revenue in the first year and $6.5 million in the first five years.

ServproThere is no better testament to the allure

of Gallatin than SERVPRO, a company whose headquarters have been in Gallatin for 20 years.

Ted and Doris Isaacson launched SERVPRO in 1967 in Sacramento, Calif., and moved to Gallatin in 1988 in a strategic move to place the company within 600 miles of 50 percent of the U.S. population.

“We moved from Sacramento to middle Tennessee to be within a few hundred miles of most of our franchisees,” said Rick Isaacson,

executive vice president. “The quality of life in the Gallatin area, specifically, made the area extremely attractive to us.”

“When we moved here in 1988, Sumner County had yet to go through the growth spurt that other areas around Nashville had experi-enced,” he continued. “We knew Gallatin was on the cusp of its growth spurt in size and property value, and we felt like it was the per-fect place to locate our headquarters.”

“The people in Gallatin are very down-to-earth — they don’t care if you teach, work on the production line, or own SERVPRO,” Isaacson went on to say. “We couldn’t be happier with the community, and we’re very proud to be a part of it.”

SERVPRO just broke the 1,500 franchisee mark and topped $1 billion in revenue for the first time in 2009. The company is expand-ing in Gallatin, adding a 120,000-square-foot building behind its headquarters.

{Business Is Booming in Gallatin

Gallatin’s new Kroger store, which will anchor the Savannah Marketplace development, is projected to produce $1.1 million in tax revenue in the f irst year.


As one of Sumner County’s largest employ-ers, the Gap Distribution Center plays a major role in the Gallatin economy.

“The campus has three buildings totaling 2.3 million square feet,” says Vice President Dan Gerstner. “The first building opened in 1995.”

Gerstner says Gap chose the site because of that old real estate adage: location, loca-tion, location.

“The campus site was identified for its physical location,” says Gerstner. “The large

acreage, interstate infrastructure, and things of that nature.”

Nearly 15 years later, the Gap employs around 900 at the Gallatin location and ser-vices nearly 40 percent of the total U.S. Gap store base.

“The Gallatin campus services the Midwest and Southeast stores for all three of our major brands — Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic,” said Gerstner.

{Gallatin’s annual Main Street Festival in the fall and Squarefest in the spring bring craftsmen, entertainment, and food vendors to the city.

DOWnTOWn

lot has happened in Gallatin in the last year. New roads

have opened, business and industry has expanded, and new

and innovative services have been implemented.

One of those road projects improves access to Gallatin’s historic downtown, where several new amenities can be found. Visitors to the square can enjoy the downtown streetscape project, which gave the old town square a fabu-lous rejuvenation, along with the new Farmers Market and the Gallatin Public Library.

With its more than 200 years of history, the downtown district is a treasure of the community. It is a vibrant city center that cel-ebrates with festivals in the spring and fall and gathers attention as a distinct destination. The library, a new art gallery, free public Wi-Fi, the outstanding local cuisine, and unique retail outlets draw locals and visitors time and again to this important hub of Gallatin.

Downtown StreetscapeIn September 2007, when Tennessee Gov.

Phil Bredesen announced that an enhance-ment grant of $648,407 was being awarded to the city of Gallatin to assist with the Downtown Gallatin Streetscape Improvement Project, no one truly envisioned the magnifi-cence of the completed project.

The days of construction were long, and for many businesses, it was a test of endur-ance. From excavating, repaving, and con-creting sidewalks and roads one section at a time, to making changes to accommodate hidden water ways, to discovering historic relics beneath the many layers of pavement on North Water Avenue, it was not an easy project. But when the project was completed just in time for Gallatin’s annual Main Street Festival in October 2009, the thousands of attendees agreed that the renewal was well worth the challenges it had presented.

Part of the Downtown Master Plan adopted by the city in 2005, Phase II was the final phase of the project and included pedestrian connection improvements to the core com-mercial area, as well as decorative crosswalks and benches.

“The city of Gallatin has created a vision for its downtown area that will improve the quality of life for the entire community,” said Bredesen. “Revitalization projects like these can also lead to tremendous growth for local economies. I’m pleased the state was able to support this down-town improvement project.”

“This project will further Gallatin’s efforts to create a downtown that encourages visitors to park, walk, and shop,” said Tennessee State Representative Mike McDonald.

In addition to the pedestrian improve-ments, Phase II of the Downtown Gallatin Streetscape Project included landscaping, lighting, and way-finding signs.

Downtown Festivals

Main Street FestivalGreater Gallatin, Inc., an organization

committed to the preservation of downtown Gallatin, began spearheading Gallatin’s annual Main Street Festival in October 1998. The event brings craftsmen, entertainment, and food vendors to the city for a weekend event the first Saturday each October. The festival has grown to over 100 vendors and thousands of attendees. In 2003 Greater Gallatin added a Kansas City Barbeque Society Sanctioned Cook-off, in which teams from all over the United States compete for a chance to win $10,000.

Square FestOn the last Saturday in April, Greater

Gallatin hosts its annual Square Fest. This festival is held annually on the last Saturday in April. The festival includes arts and crafts, live entertainment, a kids’ area, and a large

variety of food vendors from throughout the mid-South. The annual festival has become one of Gallatin’s signature events, with crowd sizes estimated from 8,000 to 10,000.

The addition of the new Gallatin Downtown Public Library sparked the beginning of change in downtown Gallatin. It was the true anchor for the start of the Streetscape Project.

This more than 40,000-square-foot facil-ity is truly the new star on the square. With over 7,000 square feet dedicated to younger children’s services, a technology room with computers for all ages, two large meeting rooms, and a separate board room, it is a facility that everyone in the community has an occasion to use. Interspersed throughout the library are reading areas furnished with comfortable chairs where patrons can enjoy reading. Just inside, a grand piano donated by Samick Music graces the lobby.

The library’s historic yet classic design was the vision of Gallatin architect Roger Matchett, of Matchett and Associates. Local contractor Curtis Construction built the building, which was completed in November 2008.

The entry courtyard features bricks laid in honor of many of Gallatin’s residents. From government officials to families and loved ones who have passed, these bricks represent the foundation for the future of Gallatin in many ways.

Old Hickory LakeLocated just outside Nashville in Sumner

County is Old Hickory Lake, covering 22,500 surface acres. The cities of Gallatin and Hendersonville are situated on the northern shoreline. Offering a variety of outdoor rec-reational opportunities for millions each year, the lake has become a natural way of life for the Gallatin community.

Along the shore people enjoy picnics, leisurely walks, and watching the boats and people. Gallatin has several parks that offer access to the lake, along with picnic areas, walking trails, biking trails, and more. Bring your own boat or rent a pontoon, canoe, or jet-ski. The lake offers many opportunities for fishing, water sports, and scenic rides exploring secluded coves, shady banks, and wide-open spaces.

Because of the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, picnicking, boating,

The Gallatin Municipal Park outdoor pool provides fun in the sun for the whole family.

Foxland golf course is meticulously groomed to tournament standards.

and water sports are enjoyed throughout the year. Numerous species of wildlife, includ-ing abundant populations of waterfowl and wading birds, make their home around the lake. Nature study and photography are popular pastimes.

History of Old Hickory Lake

Old Hickory Lock and Dam were autho-rized for construction by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1946 as a unit of a comprehen-sive development plan for the Cumberland River Basin. The project was designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and built by private contractors under the Corps’ supervi-sion. The project was completed for full ben-eficial use in December 1957. The lock, dam, powerhouse, and lake are operated and super-vised by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ personnel under the direction of the district engineer at Nashville.

Campground and Boat Access

Public facilities include nine marinas, three Corps of Engineers-operated camp-grounds, and 41 boat access sites. Two of these marinas, Gallatin Marina and Shady Cove Marina, claim Gallatin as their home. Both offer boat slips and covered docks. Additionally, there are several boat ramps throughout Gallatin, including Bull Creek, Peach Valley, Lock 4, Cages Bend Campground, Cairo, Bledsoe State Park, and Shady Cove Resort.

Gallatin is the home of three full-service campgrounds: Bledsoe State Park, Cages Bend Campground, and Shady Cove Resort and Camp Ground. These campgrounds offer walking trails, picnic shelters, ball fields, boat ramps, playgrounds, and restroom and shower facilities, as well as beautiful campsites.

Guided nature walks, annual festivals, and other events are scheduled throughout the year.

Just across the Highway 109 River Bridge you will find Cherokee Resort Restaurant and Marina, one of the area’s most popu-lar steak houses and another good option for boaters.

Gallatin is one of Tennessee’s pre-mier fishing spots. Many national and regional championships have been held on the lake, including Walmart FLW, Everstart, Bassmaster Elite, Bassmaster Megabucks, Women’s Bassmaster, BASS Tennessee Eastern Invitational, Super Bass Classic National Championship, and Bass Pro Shops Crappie Masters National Championship.

One of Gallatin’s greatest and best-loved amenities, Old Hickory Lake’s popularity con-tinues to grow as more people discover new ways to enjoy the beautiful water that serves Gallatin in so many ways.


The first home of the city’s little league baseball games, Thompson Park

is located just south of the square and was the first public park in the city of

Gallatin. This park is a community favorite. Many a swimmer got to leap from

the high dive into the 12-foot-deep waters of the original Olympic-size public

swimming pool, which is now covered by the popular Skate Park of Gallatin.

Indeed, Thompson Park is the “hot spot” for skateboarders from all age

groups. The Skate Park, which hosts several skateboarding tournaments

throughout the year, offers ramps, half-pipes, poles, and more. It is completely

enclosed with a concrete base and features bleachers for viewing.

Park Highlights

• Lock 4 Park and Bike Trails

• Skate Park of Gallatin

Lock 4 Park is not only one of the most beautiful

lake spots in Gallatin for picnicking, fishing, and launch-

ing your boat, but it is also the home of the famous

Lock 4 Bike Trails. These trails offer an 8.75-mile

course that’s an 85 percent rolling technical single-

track combining jeep roads, a paved road, and open

sections for starts and passing. The course is packed

full of climbs, switchbacks, jumps, and berms. It’s safe

enough for everyone, yet fun and challenging for even

the most skilled rider, so it attracts riders from all over

the world. Lock 4 has hosted the Lock 4 Challenge, a

Norba-sanctioned race, for over 18 years and has been

the venue for the XTERRA Mountain Bike Triathlon for

nine years.

Local Fine Artists Call Gallatin Home

For many, Gallatin has become the art capital of Sumner County. Artists Bill Puryear, David Wright, Frank Gee, and Ralph J. McDonald call Gallatin home, and their work can be seen on display around town.

Bill Puryear

“I sometimes wonder how I shall live long

enough to paint all I see.”

Bill Puryear paints from his studio over-looking the Cumberland River. While he paints in all media and genres, his special interest is realizing the beauty of the environ-ment. His works have been displayed in jur-ied shows at Cheekwood, the Parthenon, the Central South, The Junior Service League, and Warner Park Nature Center, and he is repre-sented in numerous private, corporate, and institutional collections. His Rites of Passage was a calendar picture for The Tennessee Conservationist and his Greenfield Station was chosen a Sumner County Bicentennial print. He is also a member of the Tennessee Art

League, The Tennessee Watercolor Society, ArtSumner, The Chestnut Group, and Southern Light Artists of America

David Wright

“The history of our country has always fasci-

nated me. I paint people in the historical envi-

ronment — creating an atmosphere, rather

than detailing the event itself.”David Wright’s depictions of rural coun-

try landscapes and memorable moments in American history have earned him countless awards and placements in prestigious muse-ums and private collections. Professionally trained and with advanced study in Europe, Wright ranks among America’s premier artists. His scholarship and deep histori-cal sensitivities are evident in his works on the American frontier, the Civil War, hunters, settlers, and Native Americans. His works hang in numerous collections, including the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville. Wright’s commissioned painting for Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Gateway to the West — Daniel Boone

Leading The Settlers Through The Cumberland Gap, 1775 has been made into a breathtak-ing mural on display at the Cumberland Gap Visitor’s Center.

Frank Gee

“This philosophy of an art of simple forms,

subtle suggestion, and natural subject

matter has most greatly influenced my

concept of art.” Frank Gee’s Asian heritage is an integral

part of his life as well as his art. He believes that the simple and yet perfect rhythms of nature are reflected in the traditions of the Orient. An avid fisherman, canoeist, hiker, and back-packer, Frank is intimately acquainted with nature, the source of all his art. In the past two decades, many competitions have recog-nized Frank Gee’s work. Organizations using Frank Gee’s work for fundraising projects include the Nature Conservancy, the National Wildlife Federation, and the Tennessee Nature Conservancy. Articles featuring Frank and his work have appeared in numerous national periodicals and magazines.

Gallatin celebrates the Fourth of July in style with fun, family-friendly festivities, including live entertainment and a f ireworks display.


R.J. McDonaldR.J. McDonald is a highly respected wildlife artist. For over 25

years, his paintings and prints have been enthusiastically collected. His wildlife art career received a substantial boost when the governor of Tennessee commissioned him to paint the official portrait of the state bird, the mockingbird. In 1981 Ducks Unlimited named him its National Artist of the Year, and the sale of his prints at Ducks Unlimited auctions has raised millions of dollars for that organiza-tion. This year Ducks Unlimited and the National Wild Turkey Federation each selected a McDonald painting to publish as a print for their national fundraising projects. His work is included in pres-tigious art collections throughout the United States.

Look and Listen LiveAmberLeaf and The Bistro at Amberleaf

AmberLeaf is located in a beautifully restored 1900s building in the heart of the historic district in downtown Gallatin. The Bistro at AmberLeaf features entertainment while dining several nights monthly. The famous Jazz Night on the Square at AmberLeaf has become a Gallatin tradition, featuring the likes of James Story, Marshall McClarnon and The Praise Band, and more.

Govan’s Coffee Shop and Salon (Govan’s Gathering Place)The venture of Govan’s began after Professor Govan passed away

in July 2000. During his lifetime, he had been an accomplished art-ist, filling his home with 70 years of paintings. Professor Govan rarely allowed his paintings to be sold, so the family had a tremendous amount of artwork that had never been shown. The Govan family decided that his work should be displayed. Henry & Angela Govan decided to pursue their dream of owning their own coffee house in which music and entertainment would be a huge part.

Hangar 767Hangar 767 features live bands on the weekends, songwriters on

Thursday nights, and great food and beverages throughout the week!

{Gallatin’s classic Palace Theatre is a local historic landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

{Jazz Night on the Square at the AmberLeaf has become a Gallatin tradition.


The Pick InnFor traditional bluegrass, The Pick Inn is

the perfect place to be. Located just outside Gallatin up the road from Bledsoe Creek State Park, it’s the farm of Jesse and the late Jim McReynolds, better known as Jim and Jesse and The Virginia Boys. For years they kept pouring out the hits from their hillside home. They were also featured entertainers on the Grand Ole Opry. Now, Jesse continues his musical tradition at The Pick Inn, offering gorgeous hilltop lake views, where both the young and the young at heart can participate. From the annual Sumner County “Pickin’ for Pets” Benefit and Classic Car Show to Gallatin’s 1010 WHIN morning radio shows, traditional Appalachian music is vibrantly alive through The Pick Inn.

ith more than 70 academic programs, Volunteer State Community College can help

adults of all ages become better educated.One of the most unique aspects of Vol State is

that it is one of just a few places in Tennessee where graduating high school seniors can attend college for free. In 2008, the Sumner County Commission passed the “Educate and Grow Sumner County” resolu-tion. Under the resolution, county government pays the tuition for graduating high school students in Sumner County who achieve the Tennessee Scholar designation by maintaining a 2.5 GPA while taking a certain course load, maintaining a good attendance and behavior record, and performing community service. In just the first year of the program, the Educate and Grow Sumner County helped over 110 students. Vol State also has several other programs to help fund students’ education.

Volunteer State is truly a college that supports lifelong learning. In addition to the regular academic curriculum, the college offers continuing education courses. The continuing education division is designed to foster community and economic development, strengthen partnerships, and satisfy a broad range of personal, professional, and workforce development needs of the local community and area business and industry. The division is organized into four depart-ments — personal enrichment, workforce development, small busi-ness development, and health care training — each of which offers a wide range of both general interest courses and business and industry specific courses.

The college is also home to one of Tennessee’s small business devel-opment centers. To help foster entrepreneurship and small businesses in the area, the center offers free and confidential counseling to exist-ing and startup small businesses for their management, operations, marketing, and other needs.

Founded in 1971, approximately 7,000 students attend Vol State. The college contributes an estimated $62 million to the local economy annually.
