Gibson C nty T rist A ract s Gibson Coun Lake
The Gibson County Lake was created in 1998 and is 560 acres with areas for picnics and concessions. The lake is located about five miles east of Trenton off of Vaughn’s Grove road. There are different facilities available at the Gibson County Lake including fishing. For the fishing capability, there is a boat launching ramp, a fishing pier, rental boats, fish attractors and a full-service bait and tackle shop. There are also several fishing tournaments that occur on the lake. Another facility is the RV campgrounds with water and electric hook-ups for a small nightly fee. The dumping station for RVs is off site. Primitive camping is also available for no charge and pontoon boats are welcome.
While the TWRA has their hand in lots of projects around Tennessee, the Gibson County Lake is their first multi-purpose family lake. The lake is divided up into two separate distinct zones—a recreational zone and a fishing only zone. The recreational zone is 360 acres in size and can be utilized for fishing, recreational boating and swimming. The fishing only zone encompasses 200 acres and is for fishing only. In the fishing only zone, a strict no wake speed limit is enforced. There is a line of buoys positioned in the lake to differentiate between these two zones.
As for wildlife, the lake is home to largemouth bass, Florida bass, crappie, bluegill and redear sunfish. There are also numerous blue and channel catfish. Gibson County Lake provides excellent year-round fishing opportunities, but is especially good for trophy bass fishing in February.
Gibson County Lake is blessed with an abundance of silver sides and shad, which are wonderful prey fish that as expected, help largemouth pack the some pounds. It provides excellent year-round fishing opportunities, but it is especially good for trophy bass fishing when fishing the year’s shortest month. If you are looking for the largemouth of the lifetime, this lake is where you need to be. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency or TWRA has done an excellent job of managing this lake, so that it can routinely produce double-digit bass.

Trenton Teapot Museum
It is not that the city of Trenton cannot afford a municipal building it is more that the municipal building was designed as an art gallery, and when Trenton’s city board meets to discuss the city’s business, they do it amid the splendor of several million dollars worth of teapots.
We are not talking about the standard blue or gray enamelware teapot or the ceramic dime store variety with painted flowers. These teapots are truly works of art, rare, beautiful and anti ue teapots properly called Veilleuses-theieres pronounced vayuhz tay-air , or ight Light teapots.
The incredible collection of these anti ue teapots on display in Trenton was a gift to the city from r. Fredrick C. Freed, a professor of gynecology at ew ork niversity and a native of Trenton. r. Freed amassed his collection during 0 years of searching anti ue shops around the world. e originally planned to present his 500-piece collection of anti ue teapots to the etropolitan useum of Art in ew ork City. They came to Trenton instead at the suggestion of r. Freed’s brother.
The idea of the veilleuse was born in the 18th century when ceramists in urope began producing a device of use in sickrooms and nurseries. The veilleuse started out as a simple, utilitarian warming dish set atop a pedestal containing a shallow dish of oil. When the oil was lighted, the contents of the dish were heated. Artists of the period were uick to notice the flame also shone through the translucent sides of the pedestal producing a soft night-
light effect. As the idea caught the public favor, artisans began producing more decorative versions designed as containers for tea and other beverages.
r. Freed’s collection in Trenton stems primarily from the 19th century when French ceramists began producing elaborately decorated veilleuses-theieres which often concealed the fact that they were very simply functional teapots on a warming pedestal.
A teapot spout in the Trenton Collection, for example, might be a bobbin of yarn in the hand of a woman, an opening in the plumed hat of a handsome musketeer, the extended arm of a soldier, or a pitcher in the hand of a goddess riding on the back of a leaping dolphin.
Part of the charm of the Trenton Collection is its smalltown setting and the obvious pride the city’s residents have in their priceless collection of anti ue teapots. The collection is the basis of an annual week-long Teapot Festival each year in ay.

Gi on County Take a Look at...
Gibson County, located in the heart of West Tennessee, is comprised of 10 municipalities edina, ilan, Gibson, umboldt, yer, radford, orkville, enton, Rutherford and Trenton, the county seat.
Gibson County is located in what was known as Indian Land territory that was legally occupied by Chickasaw ative American people. The Chickasaw Cession, proclaimed on anuary , 1819, eliminated those rights and opened the region for settlement and exploitation by white settlers and speculators. oon after the Chickasaw Cession, the first log cabin in what was to become Gibson County had been built by Thomas Fite about eight miles east of present-day Trenton. From 1819 the area was part of Carroll County but, as settlement progressed, citizens petitioned for the formation of a new county. The county was established by private act on ctober 21, 1823, and was named in honor of Colonel ohn . Gibson who had died earlier that year. Gibson was a native of edford County, Tennessee who was commissioned Lieutenant in the Tennessee ilitia he took part in the War of 1812, the campaign to atchez of 1813, and fought in the Creek Wars of 1813. Although his descendants lived in Gibson County, it is believed he never did.
Gibson County has always been heavily involved in agriculture. In its early days, Gibson County was rivaled by no other county in the tate, since nearly every farm product, including various grasses and fruits, was produced with sufficient ease to yield
a handsome income. As commerce grew the strong railroad presence in early Gibson County help the communities to flourish.
Gibson County is rich in Civil War heritage. The conflicts in Gibson County ranged from those who have been barely mentioned in history books to those of greater importance, such as exploits of athan edford Forrest as he traveled through the county, destroying as he went.
ne of Gibson County’s most famous residents was Col. avid Crockett. avid Crockett owned property near the area now known as Rutherford, Tenn. This property is where he built his first log cabin in West T in 1822. Among many accomplishments while a resident of Gibson County, Crockett served three terms in the Congress of the nited tates. The community of Rutherford still celebrates Crockett’s heritage with avid Crockett’s Cabin open to the public for tours and the Annual avy Crockett ays week-long celebration of events. In its early years, Gibson County grew rapidly, chiefly because the land had less dense forest growth than some adjacent areas and was therefore more easily prepared to farm cotton and corn. y the end of 182 , the county had 2 3,1 3 acres 1,105.3 km2 of taxable land. The county’s first cotton gin was built in 1826.

the City of Bradford Take a Look at...
ettled in 1855 by Robert . radford, radford was a growing community not yet recognized as a township. In 18 2, the Illinois Central Railroad built a railroad through the community, and early settlers began to call the new settlement imball in honor of r. imball with the railroad company who showed strong support for developing the community. The city of radford was officially incorporated much later in 1913 and a city council was established. Today, radford has just over 1,200 residents. radford is located at the northeast corner of Gibson County. It is home to the radford pecial chool istrict, which oversees radford lementary chool and radford unior- enior igh chool.

The radford pecial chool istrict was established through a private legislature act in 191 . For the following sixty years the system operated as both an independent district and as a part of the Gibson County chool ystem until uly 19 when the board of trustees, fearing consolidation, voted to become an independent operating system.
uring the summer of 19 8, the old high school building burned. It had been the central building for the school system since the early 1900’s but was condemned by the state fire marshal in
19 . It was during this time that the local board had to make a decision as to whether to consolidate with Gibson County, or attempt to become an independent district. A majority of the board wanted to become a special school district. The board had recently purchased a tract of land on which to build a new high school, but the citizens of radford overwhelmingly favored rebuilding on the same lot, therefore construction was begun in 19 9 with a three phase plan and was completed in 1981. The building housed grades -12 with a total student population of approximately 320 students. The numbers have consistently remained about the same for the past twenty years.
The radford elementary school was completed in 1951 with additions in 195 , 19 0 and 19 6.
uring the 2002 school year, a new multi-purpose building was constructed which serves as a gym for the elementary students, and a facility for the community events. A pre-k program was added in 2001 - 2002, and another in 2005 - 2006.
Another addition to our elementary school took place in the spring and summer of 201 with a tornado shelter. Renovations to our parking lot and elementary school are also notable. Today the school has approximately 325 enrolled in grades -6. This figure has fluctuated only slightly for the past several years. The combined numbers including the two new pre-k classes is a little less than 00 students.
The radford faculty is one of the best educated and most experienced in the entire state. A high percentage of the present faculty have post-graduate degrees, and turnover among teachers is very small.

Although the first known business in Gibson remains a mystery, it is known that am andell operated a cabinet shop by about 18 2. The town had a cotton gin in the early 1900s that closed in the early 19 0s, and a large pack shed wooden building used by farmers to drop off produce for railroad transportation.
Gibson is located on ighway 9 between umboldt and ilan in Gibson County. It had a igh chool from 1918 until 19 6 when three juveniles who didn’t want to go school burned it down. The high school would continue operations at the old Fly chool, renamed to the Gibson chool Annex, until its closure in 1980. Gibson also had an elementary school that closed in 198 .
While the school was in service, the Gibson Wildcats basketball and football teams were competitive rivals to nearby ilan and umboldt. The high school gymnasium’s floor was repurposed as the ceiling for the Gibson Community Center after the school burned down. The community center is now collo uially known as The building with the floor on the ceiling.
The town currently has one church following the closure of the Gibson nited ethodist Church in ctober 2012 after 100 years of service. The Gibson aptist Church is currently the only church in Gibson. It has been serving the local community since its formation in 18 9.

The city of umboldt, founded in 1858, left its previously unincorporated status in 1868. What was once known as Trezvant, the area really began to sprout growth and development during the 1850s due to the expansion of the railroads. riginally, the railway ran only from north to south. owever, when a crossing was created by the intersecting of the east and west railway into the north and south, umboldt was formed. The railroad was only one advancement as there was also a shipping port on the Forked eer River where steam powered flat-bottom boats brought in goods from all over.

edina came into being in the year 18 3 when the Illinois Central Railroad was being built through Gibson County. A boxcar was being used as an office by the railroad construction crew, some of which were gyptian workers from edina, Arabia—a small town approximately 100 miles from emphis, gypt on the ile River. tory has it that the homesick crew saw the similarities and attached a handmade sign to the boxcar that read edina’, thus the town received its name. Although the area of the train tracks became a busy area of commerce early on, edina was not incorporated until April 6, 190 .
Today, edina has approximately 5,100 residents. Located on the south end Gibson County right on wy. 5 , edina is 10-minute commute from ackson and a hotbed for residents looking for a combination of relaxing county living and top-notch schools.

The festival has grown into a week-long event. The Teapot Festival begins with the lighting of the teapots ceremony at city hall. usic and fireworks show highlight the first evening of the festival. ther highlights include a parade and the chocolate extravaganza.

Trenton A ttractions
hady Acres Park - hady Acres Park, accessible from anufacturer’s Row, is Trenton’s city park. The park offers four fields that regularly host a variety of baseball and softball games, as well as four tennis courts, where the P Golden Tide tennis team plays its home matches. hady Acres Park is also recognized as one of nine Level IV Arboretum in the tate of Tennessee. Visitors can take a stroll along the walking trail and view 151 different species of trees that were planted in the park. The trees were planted by ileen lliott and her sister arlene Wilson beginning in the autumn of 2011, along with the help of several volunteers. What started out as a simple project to enrich the Trenton community and earn two little old ladies the right to be called aster Gardeners blossomed into an exceptional effort that produced one of the most diverse tree exhibits in Tennessee.
istoric homes - There are a number of historic homes located in Trenton, including Lea ouse, Rosedale anor, Pecan Place, Century ouse and Villa Freed, r. Fredrick Freed’s boyhood home, which was built in the early 1900s. The land on which the Freed home was built was the site of the first school for girls in Gibson County. It was incorporated in 1852 as a private school and called the dd Fellow Female Collegiate Institute. uring the Civil War, the school was seized by Federal troops and used as a hospital and campground. efore the troops left, they burned all of the buildings. After the war, ulius Freed bought the land and built this house for his family.
Teapot useum - This small city in West Tennessee is perhaps the only place in the world where city business is routinely conducted in an art gallery. It is not the city of Trenton cannot afford a municipal building it is more that the municipal building was designed as an art gallery and when Trenton’s city fathers meet to discuss the city’s business, they do it amid the splendor of several million dollars worth of teapots. These are not the standard blue or gray enamelware teapot or the ceramic dime store variety with painted flowers. These teapots are truly works of art, rare, beautiful and anti ue
teapots properly called Veilleuses-theieres pronounced vayuhz tay-air , or night light teapots. The incredible collection of these anti ue teapots on display in Trenton was a gift to the city from r. Fredrick C. Freed, a professor of gynecology at ew ork niversity and a native of Trenton. r. Freed amassed his collection during 0 years of searching anti ue shops around the world. e originally planned to present his 500-piece collection of anti ue teapots to the etropolitan useum of Art in ew ork City. They came to Trenton instead at the suggestion of r. Freed’s brother. The idea of the veilleuse was born in the 18th century when ceramists in urope began producing a device of use in sickrooms and nurseries. The veilleuse started out as a simple, utilitarian warming dish set atop a pedestal containing a shallow dish of oil. When the oil was lighted, the contents of the dish were heated. Artists of the period were uick to notice the flame also shone through the translucent sides of the pedestal producing a soft night-light effect.
ite Lite Theatre - ite Lite Theatre is a non-profit community theater organization chartered in une of 1980 that is composed of an ever changing group of people throughout Gibson County with members all of the surrounding counties. It is a meld of people from all walks of life, professions, interests, and areas of the country with no consideration of race, sex, creed, age or social standing. Their one common interest is love of live theater and the fine arts. ite Lite’s purpose is to produce plays and other works associated with the performing arts, to promote interest in theatre and the performing arts while providing educational and cultural opportunities for people of all ages. ite Lite’s home theatre is the Peabody Little Theatre in Trenton although ite Lite does perform in other theaters upon re uest. ite Lite then presents three plays at Peabody Little Theatre each season for their patrons. ite Lite Theater also awards a 500 annual scholarship available to any Gibson County high school graduate who plans to major in one of the fine arts. ite Lite had its start in 1980 when a small group called on friends and ac uaintances that shared this love. From that nucleus the formal organization was formed. The public demonstrated their enthusiasm for the new venture opening night, uly 11, 1980. As the house lights dimmed, the curtain opened and the first actor stepped on stage, the audience rose as one and gave a standing ovation.

When ohn Warmath moved back to umboldt in 201 to run the family business, 1Tennessee, he called it a surreal time, pulling up in a - aul loaded with his belongings. e would be the third generation owner and operator of the family business serving as president.
1Tennessee is an internet, cable streaming television and phone service provider with decades of family history expertise operating the business.
I last lived in the house over 20 years before, after all, Warmath said. ixty years earlier, the house had been a bachelor pad for my grandfather, . Frank Warmath, which was expanded to house my uncles and my father, Frank, as the family grew.
. Frank was the son of local farmers who attended Vanderbilt and became a local attorney-turned-entrepreneur running businesses including newspapers, banks, real estate and, in 1969, cable television, Warmath said of his grandfather. Warmath Communications, Inc. officially launched in anuary 19 0 offering five channels for five dollars. Cable TV would be a booming business for the decades to come.
y the early 1980s, . Frank was ready to play more golf and my father, Frank, was named president of the company. Frank would lead expansion into edina and Three Way, but most importantly would be one of the first in Tennessee to rebuild the system to provide internet service in 1999. oing business as Infostructure and Click1 and now 1Tennessee , our familybusiness has provided high- uality, locally-owned television and internet services ever since.
In the early 2010s, the so-called etflix oom caught other cable and internet providers off guard, which led to
slower speeds and necessary upgrades. These ups and downs led to Warmath flirting with offers to purchase the family business. Instead, 1Tennessee continued forward, moving from cable tv to streaming, while keeping all of the same channels their customers were accustomed to receive.
ost importantly, we have put together a great local team, led by ustin Twyman, with a superb complement of global partners to provide the highest level of service possible, Warmath stated. erving our corner of Gibson County is something we’ve always been passionate about even when it may not feel that way , and we are bringing even faster speeds, better WiFi and more uni ue TV options to your homes.
Warmath says he is proud and thankful to all of their West Tennessee neighbors who trust them to connect your home.

n April, MacLean Power ystems launched the relocation of one of its longest tenured operations to a new, recently refurbished facility in Trenton, Tenn. ver 350 pieces of equipment, thousands of piece parts and finished goods were transferred. The first equipment move took place at the beginning of April 2013, and all equipment and materials were transferred by the end of eptember 2013.
Today, there are over 400 full-time employees dedicated to making the operations a success. A full operations team is in place manufacturing, quality assurance, shipping receiving, engineering, planning, purchasing, finance and human resources. All departments have distinct roles and work together to focus on serving the customer and addressing issues as they arise.
MP supplies over 12,000 power system products to their valued customers every day. The company is dedicated to keeping the power infrastructure performing optimally by supplying world-class products and programs to fulfill the needs of customers who maintain electrical services to consumers worldwide.
The areas of expertise include products used by utilities for building transmission and distribution lines and substrates. Currently, the MP Trenton team is preparing to operate on
three shifts. MP has every confidence that the team, and the facility, will enjoy great success for many years to come.
When MacLean Power ystems came to Trenton in 2013, the county eagerly awaited the economic impact the big business was going to have on our area.
Tax revenues. Jobs. Population growth. Those are the buzzwords that get bandied about when a major industrial manufacturer moves into a rural area like ours. With more than 400 full-time employees supplying over 12,000 power system products to its customers for 10 years, the economic impact MacLean Power ystems has had on Trenton and Gibson County is certainly substantial, but it’s the little things that make MacLean Power ystems such a great neighbor to have.
To Trenton, the manufacturer made a commitment to donate 100,000 to the Northwest Gibson County MCA over the next five years.
MacLean Power systems has worked with local school districts to provide students with opportunities to gain skills and experience through programs like T P and the nnovative High chool grant program.

Locally owned teve arsh Ford keeps customers coming back
There are lots of reasons that teve arsh Ford sells and services more cars and trucks than their counterparts in West Tennessee.
While their motto, Where price sells cars and service keeps customers , always rings true, there’s more to their success story.
In 1992, a pair of local businessmen, teve arsh and Gary immons, founded the business known then as immons- arsh Ford. arsh eventually purchased his partner, Gary immons, out and it became teve arsh Ford.
teve was born on Feb. 28th, 1955 and passed away suddenly on ecember 9th, 1996. The business was later purchased by Larry Connell and Larry
mith, who were both employed at the business at the time of arsh’s death. Connell and mith have kept the thriving dealership locally owned and operated and have upheld the ethics, integrity and workmanship of it’s late founder, teve arsh.
teve arsh Ford employs just under 50 workers and continues to service and sell all makes of pre-owned cars, trucks and V’s, plus a full lineup of Ford vehicles.

The ilan Prevention Coalition is fighting to inform citizens and prevent drug and alcohol misuse in the community.
The ilan Prevention Coalition xecutive irector ary uncan has overseen the coalition for seven years now. Last year, the coalition hired ally amaguchi as the new Assistant irector. uncan spoke about the origin of the program.
There were a group of individuals in ilan that came together to form the coalition, uncan said. ome of the individuals were experiencing the dangers and conse uences of addiction in their own homes with their children. They came together to see what they could do in their community to prevent addiction and to provide resources to those in need of help. The group unified to save lives.
uncan said that the coalition met for about six years before writing a grant to get funding from the tate of Tennessee. Today, the organization offers trainings such as opioid overdose training for arcan administration and prevention training on the dangers and conse uences of underage drinking, tobacco and vaping use and drug use, misuse, and overdose. All public education classes are free. The coalition also gives out free medication

lock boxes.
In addition, the Coalition partners with the A to have a national drug take back event at least twice a year. uncan said, It’s not unusual for us to get 60 pounds of medication at a time when we do take back-days. We encourage people and bring awareness to the communities that they can drop off their unused and old prescriptions at their local police departments or the Gibson County heriff’s ffice. The permanent medication drop off boxes are available 2 to the public.
The ilan Prevention Coalition has a outh Advisory Council AC group for teens to get involved and help combat drug and alcohol abuse in their peer groups and communities.
The most enjoyable thing that I do is being able to work with the youth of this county, uncan said. Working with the middle school and high school youth, and seeing them want to better their communities and help their peers make good decisions when it comes to drugs and alcohol is the most rewarding part of my job.
The coalition is a non-profit and welcomes all community support. onations to the organization not only fund combating drug and alcohol abuse, but also go towards scholarships given to graduating seniors involved in AC.

Gibson C nty’s Bic ennial
It’s an exciting time in Gibson County, Tenn. celebrating our icentennial. That’s 200 years of a great past and we are looking forward to a bright future. The first settlement in the area that would become Gibson County was made in 1819 by Thomas Fite, ohn pencer, and ames Randolph who came from Warren County, Tenn. It is recorded that they brought an ax, an auger and a handsaw, with which they constructed the first house in the county. This house would have been constructed with logs and it was located about eight miles east of Trenton. They brought their families to the new home in the spring of 1820. Also, during the same year, Luke iggs settled about four miles northwest of the present site of Trenton. ther early settlers included Col. avid Crockett, L. . Tinkle, ohn W. eedham, enjamin Tyson, the Flowers’, ohn . ogg, Col. Thomas Gibson, William P. eat, ohn C. Gillespie, Alexander amilton and others. y 1823, there were enough people living in the area to petition the state legislature to establish a new county. This legislative act provided for the establishment of Gibson County and was passed on ctober 21, 1823. ere is a portion of that act regarding the naming of the new county e it enacted by the General Assembly of the tate of Tennessee, That a new county, to be called and known by the name of Gibson County, in honor of and to perpetuate the memory of Colonel ohn . Gibson. Col. ohn . Gibson was an officer in Robert yer’s Tennessee Troops who fought under the command of General Andrew ackson at the attle of ew rleans in 181 -15.
The first County Court was held at the house of Luke iggs, four miles northwest of the present site of Trenton, anuary 5, 182 . r. William P. eat was elected as the first chairman. They also elected Thomas Fite, clerk, and ohn W. eedham, sheriff. The following terms of the Court were held at the home of William C. Love, east of Trenton. hortly thereafter, a temporary courthouse would be erected at Gibson-Port now Trenton .
Gibson County really began to flourish with the coming of the railroads in the 1850s. The obile and hio Railroad made it’s way into the county about 185 . With this new form of transportation, farmers and manufactures’ had a much faster way to transport goods. They no longer had to rely on the rivers as a means to import and export goods. ew towns uickly began to pop up along the railroads.
Gibson County has many individuals who have made a name for themselves, from political figures to athletes. ne of our most famous residents and pioneers is Col. avid Crockett. e settled in the northern part of the county and represented this area in Congress before making his way to Texas. Gibson County has had others that played an important role in history including orkville’s anks Turner, who changed his vote to yes in August 1920, thus ensuring the passage of the ineteenth amendment. We have had no shortage of sports athletes such as umboldt’s oug Atkins, who played for the Cleveland rowns, Chicago ears and ew rleans aints. oug is a member of the College and Pro Football all of Fame.
