Welcome W

elcome to Gallatin, Tennessee — a city rich in history, known for its small-town lifestyle that offers an ever-increasing array of large-city amenities.

Located about 20 minutes northeast of Nashville, we are convenient to Interstates 65, 40, and 24. In fact, we are less than a day’s drive from more than 75 percent of the country’s major markets, making this Middle Tennessee city a popular choice for retirees, business travelers, and travel enthusiasts.

The unique landscape of Gallatin attracts sportsmen, nature lovers, and those who want to truly experience the four seasons. Nestled in the

6 Gallatin Chamber of Commerce

Cumberland Basin, Gallatin features softly rolling hills, an abundance of rural landscape, and beautiful Old Hickory Lake. Our average temperature is 57.9 degrees with hot summers (average 77.7 degrees), snow in the winters (average 36.4 degrees), a colorful fall, and a lovely spring!

Founded and made the county seat of Sumner County in 1802, Gallatin was named for U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin. Secretary Gallatin was one of the first to purchase land in the city shortly after it was surveyed and platted in 1803. He also founded the first general store and, in 1803, built the first courthouse and jail.

“Built on its rich history, strengthened by its generations of caring citizens, and set upon a beautiful landscape, Gallatin certainly has much to offer.�

It was the purchase of the stallion “St. Blaise” around 1900 that startled the racing community.

Nestled in the Cumberland Basin, Gallatin features softly rolling hills, an abundance of rural landscape, and beautiful Old Hickory Lake.

The city was first incorporated in 1815, to later function under a Charter established by a 1953 Private Act of the State Legislature.

The town was built around an open square, which remains a quaint hub of business today, complete with shops, restaurants, business offices, and the still operational historic Palace Theatre, constructed in 1913.

Historically, Gallatin was a largely agricultural community, once touted as the home of the largest independent tobacco factory in the

8 Gallatin Chamber of Commerce

United States. Mules, beef and dairy cattle, hogs, and sheep were all important livestock to the area’s economy. Gallatin was once known as an important breeding community for racehorses. It was the purchase of the stallion “St. Blaise” around 1900 that startled the racing community. Charles Reed paid $100,000 for him — at that time, the highest price ever paid for a horse! The area was a popular one for steeplechases and fox hunts. Several of those famous sites are now ­established

as new home communities. Kennesaw Farms, Fairvue Plantation, and Foxland are all once-grand plantations that have been developed but still retain the original home sites as centerpieces.

Today, Gallatin has abundant amenities, so residents are independent from its larger neighbor, Nashville. Many recreational opportunities, coupled with the charm of the small town it once was and the influx of quality business and retail, show that Gallatin is a vibrant community with much to offer. From a modern 10-screen theater, NCG Gallatin Cinema, to department stores and boutiques; to many restaurants, both nationally known and locally established, Gallatin is a city where many residents are content to shop, dine, work, and play all within the city limits.

Several popular events for the community keep residents both entertained and

closely connected, including the Gallatin Independence Day Celebration, the Sumner County Fair, the Gallatin Christmas Parade, springtime’s “Squarefest,” and fall’s “Main Street Festival.” Civic, historical, business, and service groups account for many other exciting annual happenings in the area, including the Cragfont Gala, the Rosemont Renaissance Festival, the Bledsoe Fort Bluegrass Festival, the 18th Century Colonial Fair, Holiday Heritage Tour, and the Annual Pilgrimage Tour of Homes.

Currently the population of Gallatin is over 27,000, and it’s growing rapidly. Many new businesses and residents are choosing Gallatin as their new home. To meet the needs of the growing community, several expansion and improvement projects are taking place:

With many improvement and expansion projects taking place, Gallatin leaders are focused on staying ahead of the growth so that all citizens are served well by the city they choose to call home.

• A new public library is in the heart of downtown Gallatin.

• Sumner Regional Health Systems is expanding their current medical facility and recently opened a new Health and Wellness Center, “Sumner Station.”

• Old “Union High” is being revitalized as a community resource center.

• The Gallatin Square is undergoing revitalization with a new streetscape.

Additionally, new schools, greenways, roads, and emergency services are being considered, planned, and built. Attention is focused on staying ahead of the growth so that all citizens are served well by the city they choose to call home.

Gallatin residents are the most enthusiastic promoters of the city. Many born in the community spend their lives here, and many more choose to relocate here. Built on its rich history, strengthened by its generations of caring citizens, and set upon a beautiful landscape, it certainly has much to offer. www.gallatintn.org 9

Historic Gallatin

“The fact that Gallatin is steeped in history makes it even more enticing and certainly, always interesting.�

10 Gallatin Chamber of Commerce

A

s a city in the State of Tennessee’s second-oldest county, Gallatin has a rich and diverse history of which its citizens are very proud.

The area around Gallatin was first explored by men of European descent called “longhunters,” so named because of the long periods they spent away from their homes tracking game. These adventurers opened the door to the settlement of Middle Tennessee. The Avery Trace, a path that connected the forts and settlements of East Tennessee to Middle Tennessee, resulted from their repeated journeys.

The first settler in the area was Thomas Spencer, a hunter who wintered alone in a hollow sycamore tree in 1778.

The County of Sumner was established by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1786, after many families were given land grants as payment for service in the Revolutionary War. It was named for war hero Jethro Sumner. Cairo, a

community on the banks of the Cumberland River, was the first center of trade in the area. However, its importance diminished in 1801 when the General Assembly authorized the purchase of 41.5 acres from Capt. James Trousdale and shortly thereafter established Gallatin as the county seat.

The first half of the 19th century was a period of growth and development for Sumner County. Improved roads, a stagecoach line, river trade, and ferry services led to the establishment of approximately 30 communities and, according to the 1820 Census, a total of 54 manufacturers.

Most apparent today from that period in time is the architectural boom that occurred in Gallatin and the surrounding communities. During the 1800s, more than 100 showplaces were erected, including James Winchester’s Cragfont (1802), John Bowen’s Trousdale Place (1822), Josephus Conn Guild’s Rose Mont (1840s), and Isaac

www.gallatintn.org 11

Franklin’s Fairvue (1832). The owners of these amazing estates prospered from agriculture and the raising of thoroughbred racehorses.

Gallatin is also significant for the communities established by African Americans, including Village Green and Free Hill.

In Gallatin, the nation’s first agricultural fair for black citizens was established, remaining an annual event for nearly 100 years. By the 20th century, Gallatin’s African-American leadership had established strong churches, schools, businesses, and a baseball team, the Travelers.

It was horses for which Gallatin gained an international reputation, as it is recognized as the home of many famous thoroughbreds.

From the 1870s to the 1890s, Belle Meade Stud and two Sumner County studs — Kennesaw, owned by James Franklin, and Fairview, owned by Charles Reed — turned out champion thoroughbreds.

Luke Blackburn, bred at Kennesaw in 1877, was one such champion.

Kennesaw also produced George Kinney, only slightly inferior to “Great

With a rich history rooted in agriculture, Gallatin was internationally recognized for its superior racehorses.

Luke.” Bred at Fairview were The Baird in 1883, Yorkville Belle in 1889, and a great brood mare, Thora, dam of Yorkville Belle. Iroquois and St. Blaise, English Derby winners of 1881 and 1883, respectively, stood at Belle Meade and Fairview during the 1890s.

In the early 1900s, agriculture boomed. The location of a Kraft Cheese plant in Gallatin in 1928 provided an outlet for increased dairy production throughout the county. Southland Grasslands Hunt & Racing Foundation built upon the area’s strong thoroughbred affiliation and attempted to establish new steeplechase traditions in the Tennessee “bluegrass” country.

A defining moment for Gallatin was the construction of Old Hickory Dam on the Cumberland River in the early 1950s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) built a steam electric generating plant at Gallatin, resulting in new jobs, new recreational opportunities, and a housing boom along the new lake shoreline.

Gallatin was also the home of the legendary Randy’s Records.

Randy Woods started a 78 rpm mail-order business in 1948 out of his appliance store, placing a short advertisement with “Hoss” Allen and Gene Nobles on WLAC Radio — and the orders poured in.

By 1950, he stocked 20,000 titles. Later, he began his own record label, “Randy’s,” on which he released a few records. Then Dot Records was formed. One of the first artists recorded by Woods was a young man who packed records for him at the store, Johnny Maddox. Maddox and his honky-tonk piano style graced Dot Records for almost 20 years. After expanding into gospel music, Woods’ roster eventually included most genres. Today, Woods’ former home houses Sumner Bank and Trust.

Gallatin still offers what attracted many of the early settlers to the area — a rich landscape, a beautiful river, and many opportunities.

The fact that it is steeped in history makes it even more enticing and certainly, always interesting.

Historical Stops

Whether Gallatin is your new home or a stop on your summer vacation, there are several stops of interest to the history buff.

Sumner County Museum houses more than 250,000 artifacts of historical significance to the city and the county. From ancient fossils to antique toys, the museum offers a fascinating journey through the evolution of Sumner County.

Trousdale Place was built in 1813 by John H. Bowen. In 1822 it was acquired by former Governor of Tennessee William Trousdale. Owned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, it is on the National Register of Historic Homes and still contains the original furniture of the Trousdale family.

Rose Mont is one of Gallatin’s grandest old homes. Built by Josephus Conn Guild between 1836 and 1842, it is one of Tennessee’s finest remaining examples of Greek Revival architecture blended with Palladian design. The home was the centerpiece of a 500-acre plantation

on which the primary activity was raising thoroughbred horses.

Cragfont, located just outside of Gallatin in Castalian Springs, was completed in 1802.

Built by Gen. James Winchester, it was considered the finest home on the Tennessee frontier and even included a ballroom. Winchester chose the name “Cragfont� because it stood on a rocky bluff with a spring at the base.

The site of Bledsoe’s Fort Historic Park was founded by Isaac Bledsoe and Kasper Mansker in 1772 and established as a

permanent settlement in 1778. Later named Bledsoe’s Lick for a salt lick on the site, the park now contains two historic cabins, a prehistoric natural spring, the Cavern of the Skulls, an outline of the original fort, and the Bledsoe family cemetery. Self-guided tours include a portion of the original Avery Trace.

This park is also the site for an annual bluegrass festival and the Colonial Fair.

Wynnewood is a log inn constructed in 1828 as a stagecoach inn and mineral springs resort. At 142 feet long, it is likely the largest 19th century log structure ever built in Tennessee. A stone monument just east of the entrance marks the spot of a giant hollow sycamore tree in which Thomas Sharp Spencer spent the winter of 1778–79.

Heavily damaged by a tornado in early 2008, Wynnewood’s reconstruction is under way.

Downtown Gallatin is historically significant with its pre-Civil War heritage and long history of law and commerce. A walking tour through the downtown area can show you all of the important points about the charming area’s churches, homes and historic businesses.

Maps and details are available at the Gallatin Chamber of Commerce. Important points of interest include the area’s historic churches; The Palace Theater, built in 1913 and the state’s oldest silent movie theater; the Sumner County archives, housing an extensive collection of records dating from 1786; and the Ralph McDonald Art Gallery, formerly known as the Guild Plaster House and recognized as one of the oldest structures in Gallatin.

The Gallatin City Cemetery is the final resting place for many of Gallatin’s most important citizens. In October, history comes to life with the annual Cemetery Tour, in which actors portray notable people for the education and delight of visitors. This highly anticipated annual fundraiser supports the preservation of the Sumner County Museum.

Preservation and Events Gallatin has a zoned historic district, with codes to preserve the integrity of the lovely, quaint homes in this important neighborhood adjacent to downtown. A greenway is planned through the historic district to allow more people to experience this wonderful area.

Many events honor Gallatin’s history and give visitors and residents the opportunity to learn more. The annual Pilgrimage of Homes and the Holiday Heritage Tour opens the doors to many historically significant homes and businesses. Other historical sites celebrate with festivals, encampments, and other events; some are available for weddings and other private gatherings. www.gallatintn.org 15

“Sumner Regional Medical Center’s commitment to providing the services and facilities its communities need is surpassed only by its commitment to providing quality, compassionate care.”

Health Care Shawna Dixon Zody, Marketing and Public Relations Manager Sumner Regional Health Systems, Inc.

F

or almost 50 years, Sumner Regional Medical Center has provided excellent patient care and compassionate service that has earned us the distinction of being the hospital of choice among residents of Sumner and surrounding counties.

The Gallatin hospital continues to set the standard in health care. SRMC offers a broad scope of services, including a full range of diagnostic, surgical, therapeutic, women’s, and rehabilitative services, along with services typically found in larger cities and nationally recognized programs.

As Sumner County has become one of the fastest-growing areas in the state, SRMC has been right there with that growth, adding new services and expanding existing ones so that quality health care is where you

need it most — close to home. Some of the most recently added services include digital mammography, interventional cardiology, a cardiac catheterization lab, and a diagnostic sleep center. Neurosurgery and computerized knee replacement surgery are also on the hospital’s list of specialties.

Another therapy that is unique to Sumner Regional Medical Center is the pet therapy program sponsored by the volunteer organization Friends of Sumner Regional. This organization celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2007.

Sumner Regional boasts a nationally recognized cancer-treatment program.

Cancer care services at SRMC received accreditation from the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer in 2006, and in 2007 the program was one of only 31 cancer treatment facilities in www.gallatintn.org 31

To better meet the needs of a rapidly growing community, SRMC is undergoing an $87 million expansion.

the entire country to be recognized with an Outstanding Achievement Award. Addi­ tionally, the hospital now boasts one of only two wound care centers in the mid-state, directed by an internal medicine physician who is a Fellow of the College of Certified Wound Specialists.

To better meet the needs of a rapidly growing community, SRMC is undergoing the largest expansion in its history. The $87 million construction project has already provided the campus with a six-story parking garage, and a new patient tower featuring private patient rooms, an emergency department, a patient registration area, a medical imaging department, upgraded surgical suites, a renovated women and children’s center, a critical care area, a gift shop, and an expanded lobby area is on schedule for a summer 2008 completion.Â

Sumner Regional Medical Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations.

Sumner Regional Health Systems is a notfor-profit health care system providing health services to Middle Tennessee and South Central Kentucky. The integrated health system

Sumner Regional Medical Center provides excellent patient care and compassionate service.

is headquartered in Gallatin, Tennessee, and operates three hospitals: its flagship, Sumner Regional Medical Center, also in Gallatin; Riverview Regional Medical Center in Carthage, Tennessee; and Trousdale Medical Center in

Hartsville, Tennessee. The health system also has several other affiliates, including Westmoreland Pharmacy, Red Boiling Springs Clinic, Sumner Homecare and Hospice, Sumner Foundation, Sumner Healthplex, and Sumner Emergency Medical Services.

As a health system consisting of community-based hospitals and health care services, Sumner Regional Health Systems believes wholeheartedly in giving back to those communities. That’s why the organization supports various local and national charities at a corporate level and encourages its affiliates to support programs in the local communities. Some of the groups that benefit from Sumner Regional Health Systems’ generosity include the Gallatin Downtown Library project, the American Red Cross, the American Cancer

Society, the March of Dimes, Hendersonville Community Library, and the American Heart Association. Additionally, individual hospitals are strongly encouraged to support their local chapters of national organizations. Also, Sumner Regional Health Systems works with the school systems in Sumner, Smith, Trousdale, and Macon counties to provide athletic trainers for all high school and college sporting events.

Along with the construction project at Sumner Regional Medical Center, Sumner Regional Health Systems recently opened Sumner Station, a stand-alone facility that includes a fitness center, physician offices, and a diagnostic center. A capital campaign is also under way through the Sumner Foundation to build a residential hospice in Sumner County. /UR GOAL IS TO HELP YOU ENJOY GOOD DENTAL HEALTH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

“Recreational opportunities within the area are almost limitless, including everything from mountain biking to hunting to skateboarding.�

34 Gallatin Chamber of Commerce

Recreation T

he opportunities for recreation, both inside and outdoors, are abundant. Gallatin has several public parks run by the city’s Leisure Services Department.

Commonly referred to as the Parks and Recreation Department, Leisure Services’ responsibilities include the Civic Center, Gallatin City Cemetery, and the Parks and Recreation Division.

Civic Center The Civic Center is the core of active Gallatin life, offering fitness areas, meeting rooms, a double gym, an indoor pool, and racquetball courts, all with reasonable fees to allow Gallatin residents to enjoy the facilities.

Special events hosted at the Civic Center include concerts, gymnastics, swim meets, craft shows, coin shows, and company parties, as well as the July 4th fireworks celebration hosted on Civic Center grounds.

Gallatin Parks All parks in Gallatin are maintained by the Parks and Recreation Division. Parks include Clearview, Thompson (offering a skate park), Municipal (with an outdoor pool), and Triple Creek (soccer, walking track, youth football).

All Gallatin parks provide playgrounds, and some are handicapped-accessible. Additionally, Municipal and Triple Creek have ball fields for city and tournament use. www.gallatintn.org 35

Mountain Biking

Old Hickory Lake

One of the city’s most popular outdoor spots is a 9-mile mountain bike trail just off Lock 4 Road. The XTERRA Lock 4 Blast is held at this park annually, and many enthusiasts think these trails are the best in the area.

Perhaps Gallatin’s greatest recreational resource is Old Hickory Lake. It is the home of the annual Tri-Challenge and several skiing, wakeboarding, and watercraft competitions.

Boating, professional and amateur fishing, swimming, and water sports are popular activities all year long on this beautiful lake.

Residents are fortunate to have many public accesses to Old Hickory Lake. Several area marinas offer services for those interested water recreation. Rentals and charters are also available.

Sports Leagues Gallatin offers Little League Baseball, Tee Ball, Senior League Baseball, and slow-pitch girls’ softball leagues.

Basketball, football, tennis, and soccer leagues are also available for various ages.

Tourism Kaye Ireland, Sumner County CVB

“Experience Gallatin’s treasures.”

T

he diversity of the city and its scenic beauty are what attracts both visitors and residents to Gallatin. From the charm of the downtown square and its historic buildings, to the excitement of reeling in a trophy bass on Old Hickory Lake, to the peaceful relaxation of sharing good times with friends, you can experience life here.

History People have been coming to Sumner County since the frontier settlers of 1779, and their history is still here to enjoy. Sumner County Museum has three floors of amazing artifacts and collections.

Historic sites like Rose Mont and Trousdale Place, along with Cragfont and Wynnewood in Castalian Springs, keep the legacy of our ancestors alive. These homes have stories to tell — surviving the Civil War, the Depression and, for some, near ruin. The beauty of these structures, as well as that of the private homes of the same time period along the roads around Gallatin, adds to the appeal of the town.

www.gallatintn.org 39

The Palace Theater, originally a silent movie theater, now shows current films.

Downtown The downtown square has a long history, having been occupied by Union troops during the Civil War. Today, the district balances history with the present day and blends architecture with great shopping and dining.

Planned redevelopment, including a new library, is currently under way.

The Palace Theater, originally a silent movie theater, now shows current films. Shops with antiques, clothing, gifts, books, coffee, and delicious cuisine are housed in historic buildings. Downtown features a brand new public library. Other redevelopment is underway. Spring’s Squarefest and Fall’s Main Street Festival bring booths bursting with crafts, jewelry, plants, entertainment, and food.

Shopping and Dining As Gallatin has grown, new shopping, dining, and entertainment venues have appeared along Nashville Pike or tucked away in some of the charming houses around Gallatin’s diverse dining options are sure to please any palate.

town. Department stores, boutiques, national restaurants, coffee shops with Wi-Fi, and local cafes offering Southern cuisine are all available. You can taste everything from country grits and greens, fried catfish, and mouth-watering barbeque to elegant gourmet dining and exquisite desserts.

The Great Outdoors Old Hickory Lake attracts fishing tournaments, triathlons, recreational fishing, and just plain fun on the water with boats and personal watercraft.

Other outdoor activities include challenging golf, mountain biking, sports events like soccer and baseball tournaments, or picnics at the lake, in our beautiful city parks, or at Bledsoe Creek State Park.

Special Events Community events give visitors and residents a reason to come out, have fun and meet friendly neighbors. Bledsoe Bluegrass Festival, Candlelight Cemetery Tour, Independence Day Festival, Rose Mont Renaissance, and Holiday Heritage Tour of Homes are just a few examples.

See www.sumnercvb.com for an events calendar with a complete listing.

Hospitality Tourism plays a major role in Gallatin and Sumner County’s economic climate. Visitors to Sumner County spent over $79 million last year. Five of Sumner County’s 10 hotels, a bed and breakfast, lakeside cabins, and two campgrounds are located in Gallatin.

Even with the recent growth, Gallatin has maintained its friendly, small-town feeling in so many ways — in the farms and fields along country roads just a couple of miles from downtown; in the balance of old and new, tradition and innovation; and in the locals who make you feel welcome, say “Howdy!� and offer you some sweet iced tea along with a bright smile.

People continue to come to Gallatin to visit family, attend an event, participate in a tournament, or spend their vacation.

Sometimes they like it so much they come back to live.

Promotion of the area as a destination is the mission of the Sumner County Convention & Visitors Bureau, along with their many tourism partners. For more information and a free visitor guide, call 615-230-8474 or e-mail info@sumnercvb.com.
