Marshall County, Tennessee
Marshall County sits just south of Nashville in Middle Tennessee, making it close enough to the city without losing its rural charm. Lewisburg serves as the county seat and has a lovely historic town square that gives the community plenty of character.
The Duck River winds through the county, offering great spots for fishing and enjoying the outdoors. Henry Horton State Park is another local favorite, with opportunities for camping, golfing, hiking, and relaxing in nature. There’s no shortage of ways to spend a weekend outside.
Marshall County also has a deep connection to Tennessee Walking Horses, which remain an important part of the local culture. Visitors can catch horse shows at the Celebration Grounds and experience a tradition that has been around for generations. Agriculture remains important, while manufacturing and other industries have added to the local economy.
