Adams

Hauntingly beautiful and perhaps a teeny bit haunted – Adams looms large in Tennessee lore as home to the Bell Witch, one of America’s most famous spirits. Tour the Bell Witch Cave, take in the scenery along the Red River with outfitters Red River Canoe and Bell Witch Tanking, and enjoy home cooking at Adams Station and Moss’s Restaurant. 

Cedar Hill

Boasting a rich agricultural legacy, visitors enjoy the local bounty at the seasonal Cedar Hill Farmers Market and get a feel for early farm life at the history museum at City Hall. On Saturdays, dance the night away to live music at Murph’s Country Music Barn.

Coopertown

This close-knit community’s natural beauty and rolling hills are the backdrop for the Cherokee Nation’s Remember the Removal cyclers, who bike through the area each year. And fall isn’t complete without enjoying the entertainment, fireworks and rides at Honeysuckle Hill Farm’s Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze.

Cross Plains

Robertson County’s first settlement, Cross Plains honors the old and welcomes the new. Thomas Drugs does both with a great selection of on-trend gifts and an old-fashioned soda fountain featuring not-to-miss milkshakes. And don’t miss the annual Heritage Commission’s community  fish fry in September, too!

Greenbrier

Original home of Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, the historic grain house and barrel warehouse still stand. Today, you can play  a round of golf at Oak Hills or Pebble Brook, shop local boutiques and end the day in a luxury treehouse. Get your fill at Granny’s Brier Patch or Greenbrier Pizza & Pub, featuring live music on Saturdays. Don’t forget a sweet treat from Golly G’s Ice Cream. 

Millersville

For an adrenaline rush, hit the races at Veterans Motorplex at The Rim or slow things down and sit a spell at Authentic Coffee with homemade tamales, delicious lattes and live bluegrass music on Friday nights.   

Orlinda

The only Orlinda in the entire country, this RobCo town is certainly one-of-a-kind. Enjoy free fruit from the community orchard, tacos at Senor Fajitas and locally raised pork from Bernard Farms Custom Cuts & Market.
