HISTORY OF DICKSON COUNTY Editor’s note: The following is an brief overview of the history of Dickson County, gathered together by Alan Ragan using research, the Ragan Family’s Skits and Bits column – written by his grandfather Henry Ragan and now by Alan – and the family histories of longtime county residents.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE RAGAN FAMILY

The Charlotte Courthouse sometime between 1916 and 1920 before the building was expanded.

Dickson County was born The Tennessee General Assembly passed a bill creating Dickson County from portions of Montgomery and Robertson counties on Oct. 25, 1803. The county, the 25th of Tennessee’s 95 counties, was named for William Dickson, a Nashville physician and statesman who served in Congress at the time. Although Dickson never lived in the county named for him, his relatives played roles in its early development.

Nature spurs development The fertile soils and natural resources drew settlers to this area in the early 1790s. North Carolina, Revolutionary War and Tennessee land grants assured large tracts of land at little or no cost to these pioneers. The discovery of iron ore provided the foundation for the area’s first industrial development. In 1793, James Robertson, the “Father of Middle Tennessee,” purchased land on Barton’s Creek. It was on this tract of land that Robertson built the first iron works on Tennessee’s frontier. In 1804, Robertson sold his furnace to Montgomery

HISTORY OF DICKSON COUNTY » HISTORY FROM 12 Bell industrialists. On Aug. 4, 1804, an act of the Tennessee General Assembly created the Town of Charlotte to serve as “The Seat of Dickson County Government.” The county seat is named for Robertson’s wife, Charlotte. The Town of Charlotte was the center of commerce, industry and government until the advent of the Civil War.

Railroad, major roads change county With the completion of the railroad from Nashville to the Tennessee River in the 1860s, the focus shifted to the southern end of the county. Also, the construction of the “Broadway of America,” or U.S. Highway 70, and the construction of Interstate 40 – which both also pass through southern Dickson County – have also shaped the county. Other significant dates in Dickson County history: May 10, 1864: The railroad was finished and the first train passed through Dickson County. The completion of the railroad through the southern part of the county brought about the development and growth of towns like White Bluff, Burns and Dickson. Nov. 4, 1952: Frank G. Clement of Dickson was elected governor for the first time. He served as governor from 1953-1959 and again from 1963-1967. Sept. 24, 1966: Gov. Frank G. Clement cut the ribbon at the Tennessee River Bridge on the opening of the new Interstate 40, linking East and West Tennessee. The superhighway was started on Sept. 18, 1958 and took eight years to build.

FILE / GANNETT TENNESSEE

Frank G. Clement served as governor from 1953-59 and 1963-67.

May 9, 1959: The first Old Timers Day as we now know it was held in Dickson on a vacant lot on Church Street across from Ragan & Hamilton, General Contractors. The day was organized by several people, including Warren G. Medley, Vernon “Red” Hamilton, Henry V. Ragan. June 2, 1965: Hampton High School’s final graduation exercises were held. This event brought an end to segregation in the county’s schools. Dec. 9, 1968: An announcement was made by Dickson County School officials that 80 acres of land had been purchased to build the new Dickson County Senior High School, bringing about the consolidation of Dickson, White Bluff and Charlotte high schools in 1972. Dec. 19, 2003: The Water Authority of Dickson County opened the state’s most technologically advanced water treatment plant. It opened on the Cumberland River in northern Dickson County. The $29 million plant had the capacity to treat more than 20 million gallons of water per day. SOURCE: Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

WELCOME TO DICKSON GREETERS

Big welcome for newcomers Message to all Dickson County newcomers: When Helen or Joan Rial knock on your home door, be excited. You are about to receive a bag full of gifts and lots of information about the county. The two women make up Welcome to Dickson Greeters and they love making new friends. “We just try to make them feel comfortable and at home,” Helen Rial said. “We take a little bit different approach because we’re answering to ourselves and to the merchants.” Former operators of Dickson’s Welcome Wagon, the Rials had to wait a year due to a contractual agreement with the national company before they could begin the Welcome to Dickson Greeters in 1999. “I just thought that’s what made it special was the home personal visits,” said Helen Rial, who operated the local Welcome Wagon for nearly 25 years. “We decided to start our own thing going into the homes like we used to. We try to make it a little more per-

sonal. It’s just local, it’s just Dickson County.” The Rials provide county information in the form of maps, pamphlets, a Dickson County Fact Book and other giveaways. “We say it’s like a neighbor visiting a neighbor, it’s not like we’re giving a commercial,” Helen said. “It doesn’t take that long but of course we both are talkers so we have a tendency to get off track a lot. Joan said the majority of newcomers are excited to see her or her mother-in-law because the visits provide so much information – and coupons/gift cards. “We have a civic packet too that we give out that has voting registration forms, a map of Dickson County, anything about anything in the area.” Helen said. “Anything that is nonprofit that is a public thing we put in our civic packet.” Newcomers are given invitation cards from local merchants for free gifts. Helen said she has plenty of contacts that let her know when newcomers arrive in the area. “We have no problems getting names,” she said. Helen said transplants from bigger cities are “amazed” by the visits. “For the people who are total strangers, especially if they’ve come from a big city…they are just so thrilled,” she said. “It’s great for the newcomer because they’re learning their way around, they’re meeting people and getting nice gifts, they can find it right here.”

President/CEO, Graves added several new programs to the Chamber and expects to add more in the near future. Dickson County’s close proximity to Nashville, the 840 loop and Interstate 40 — together with the natural beauty, great schools and quality of life — make it an ideal location for new industry. But that’s not their only focus. Jennie Wagner, office manager and bookkeeper, handles an average of 450 calls each month from people seeking information on businesses, services or local events, and mails out packages every week to people considering relocating to or visiting Dickson County. The Chamber also recruits through its web site, www.dicksoncountychamber.com, which includes everything from vital statistics to event calendars to more in depth detail on communities and landmarks. Monthly luncheons are held to facilitate networking and keep members abreast of important local, state and

federal issues. Jessica Russell, the newest team member, is Director of Membership Services and visits new businesses as well as current members to make the chamber presence more known in the area. The Chamber also sponsors seminars to assist business owners with marketing, customer service, taxes, technology and other issues. A monthly newsletter recognizes new and renewed members as well as many articles about current events in Dickson County and within the chamber and other statistical information. Each March for the past three years, the Chamber has held the popular Dickson Farm, Home and Garden Show at the Fairgrounds. Today, the Chamber comprises of approximately 450 members and a 15-member board of directors. Tourism Director Rhonda Adams has increased tourism expenditures by 36 percent over the last decade, bringing more than $50 million in tourism dollars to the county. The Chamber’s ef-

forts have increased the number of sports tournaments, attendance at festivals and other events, and brought new tour groups and conferences to the County. The Chamber promotes Dickson County at trade shows, through targeted advertising and in magazines. Education Edge is an organization of educators, civic groups, parents, local government and business leaders dedicated to constantly improving local educational opportunities. Chamber Board Member Dana Ramsey leads a steering committee, made up of many alumni of Leadership Dickson County as well as many local educators and business leaders, in developing the goals and strategies for the program, which has been recognized as one of the top 10 programs in the nation by the Council for Corporate and School Partnerships. The Leadership Dickson County program is currently led through the Leadership Dickson County Alumni Association, and is an intensive, nine month program designed to develop a diverse network of leaders,, ensuring a broad understanding of the community’s assets, needs, and challenges, and nurturing an ever-growing group of advocates to support it. In 2014, the chamber added a mascot, Oslo, the river otter. He visits chamber members each week since he was “born” at TriStarHorizon Medical Center. His face can be seen all over the chamber’s Facebook and Twitter posts as he reminds everyone “If you’re not a chamber member, you ‘otter’ be.”

OLD TIMERS DAY

Locals’ favorite festival The 57th Annual Old Timers Day will take place on the first weekend in May as has been tradition for over five decades in Dickson County. This year, Old Timers Day is May 2. The Old Timers Day website, www.dicksoncounty oldtimersday.com, as well as The Herald’s annual Old Timers Day special section will provide more information as the event date draws near.

Old Timers Day traditions, activities Last year, Old Timers Day returned to its roots as a one-day festival with the Ms. Old Timers contest and the Liars Contest, which had in recent years been Friday night events, moved to Saturday. In the Liars Contest, participants compete to tell the most amusing, tallest tales they can imagine. The Mrs. Old Timers Pageant is also always a favorite of festival-goers as some of the loveliest of Dickson County’s more mature women vie for the trophy. The contestants tell of their favorite memories and speak about the pride they take in their family and their community. Bluegrass shows have been held on Main Street in front of Ragan’s Friendly Neighbor Store for years. In recent years, the live music performances have offered a variety of styles with a gospel music stage, a stage to highlight local talent, and gospel, bluegrass, country, rock music stages.

urday morning pancake breakfast are other popular traditions, and the antique car and tractor displays are always well attended. Vance Smith's Grand Old Hatchery puts on an Old Timers show Saturday night. Also, a Tennessee City MiniTractor Pull will take place at the Dickson County Fairgrounds. The Robert Spicer Memorial Dance Competition is scheduled Saturday as well, in the War Memorial Building. Spicer is a mainstay of Old Timers Day, always keeping the crowd entertained and involved. The Old Timers Day Turkey Shoot brings all ages out for a morning of fun, and the

living history demonstrators fill the grounds of the War Memorial Building. The festivities include a wide variety of arts, crafts and great food. But the highlight of the weekend, at least judging by public turnout, is the Saturday morning parade. People lineup on the Dickson streets to watch some of their favorite old timers riding on floats, riding horses, driving antique cars or fire trucks or carrying flags.

AGRICULTURE IN DICKSON COUNTY Livestock and row crops remain the foundation of agriculture in Dickson County. Livestock sales make up 60% of all agricultural crops sold in Dickson County totaling over $10 million annually. The largest section of that commodity group goes to the beef cattle industry. Dickson county is home to well over 23,000 head of cattle (including calves) making it the largest agriculture industry in Dickson County. To promote the sustainability of this industry several programs are offered: Master Beef Producer: This is a multi-session program addressing all issues related to raising beef cattle from pasture and land management to carcass merit and everything in between. Forage Classes: Today’s economic times are hard on everyone including the beef industry. Making cattle work on forages is a must to remain profitable in today’s economic window. Marketing Options: The days of taking cattle to the weekly sale to remain profitable are over. Producers must aggressively market their cattle in non-traditional ways to capture every penny possible. Tobacco is still a very large crop in Dickson County totaling over $3 million in annual sales. Corn and soybeans can be found in Dickson County; however they are not as plentiful as beef cattle and tobacco.

FARM SERVICE AGENCY

Helping local farmers Farm Service Agency administers farm programs established by the U.S. Congress for farm commodities and resource conservation programs through local county FSA Offices. The Dickson County Office is located at 305 Henslee Drive next to Food Lion in Dickson. The office staff consists of Director Tony D. Wallace, Program Technician Kristin Lyons, and Senior Farm Loan Officer, Patrick Moore. Farmers who are eligible to participate in Federal Programs operate the FSA at the local level. Farmers elect a fourperson county FSA Committee, which reviews county office operations and makes decisions on how these programs are

applied in our county. The county committee members are Glen D. Wilson Jr., Dwight Corlew, David W. Matlock, and Loretta Y. Owen. Farm Service Agency serves the public by providing all farmers access and opportunity to participate in farm commodity, credit, conservation, environmental, and emergency assistance programs. Through these activities, FSA supports the USDA mission and helps ensure healthful, stable, accessible, and affordable food supply. FSA also fosters good land stewardship, which will help preserve our agricultural prosperity for generations to come. FSA farm programs help agricultural producers manage market risks,

recover from disasters, and conserve and protect America's natural resources. FSA, along with other USDA agencies, has Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology. These technologies assist in identifying crop types, and establishing maps for farm records. All producers who are participating or applying for a USDA program, and/or

are producing crops must have a farm serial number. FSA provides financial assistance and business planning that help ensure the future well-being of American Agriculture. FSA offers a wide range of financial products and services, that include loans to purchase or improve farm land, operating loans for livestock and equipment and operating capital just to name a few.

LEARN MORE For more information about FSA, call (446-2449 Ext. 2) or visit the Dickson FSA Service Center at 305 Henslee Drive or visit the FSA at www.fsa.usda.gov .The office hours are 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

TOWN OF BURNS

Burns poised for growth Burns’ long and storied history has ranged from a booming railroad town, invaded by passenger pigeons at one point, to the quaint and quiet setting it offers in present day. The town is poised for significant development in the future with proposed Planned Unit Developments bringing over 500 new homes, possibly within the next decade. A new middle school is also expected in the near future. Initial construction work for a 50-acre recreational park off Highway 96 near Stuart-Burns Elementary School is nearly complete, and two baseball/softball fields have already taken shape. Officials expect the park to have a concession stand and dog park finished, with lighting for the fields, in the near future. Presently, youngsters in the Burns Little League baseball and the Burns Cowboys football youth programs share Mark Whitaker Memorial Field, located in the same vicinity as the old Burns School across from Town Hall.

For get-togethers, the renovated Burns Community Center at 106 College St. is available to rent any day of the week by contacting Town Hall. Burns also offers its own police and fire departments, staffed with full-time and part-time personnel. The Burns Fire Department employs four full-time firefighters, with 20 volunteers. Nathan Stringer serves as

fire chief. The Burns Police Department staffs seven officers, who work in tandem with active reserves. Paul McCallister serves as police chief.

History Burns was first known as Grade 42 and was a settlement. In 1862, a railroad that went through Grade 42 was constructed from Nashville to Johnsonville on the Tennessee River. In 1866, the name was changed to Burns Station in honor of Capt. Michael Burns, who had commanded a detachment

encamped at Grade 42 during the Civil War. In 1882 the government deleted the word “Station.” The first pioneer to settle in the Burns area was Billy Austin and his family, who built a cabin on Beaver Dam Creek in 1803. The Public Well, a wellknown landmark in Burns, was drilled in 1910 by Flay Bibb. The well is 103 feet deep and is located at Highway 47 and Main Street. The Amanda Richardson House is the oldest existing building in Burns. The Richardson House is located at Highway 47 and Meek Avenue. SOURCE: Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

CITY OF CHARLOTTE

County seat’s roots go deep Charlotte serves as the county’s seat, where the courthouse square is the center of activity for the city and includes the county government offices. The courthouse is the oldest still being used in Tennessee. Over the last 25 years businesses and residences have been restored or maintained on the Charlotte Square. The city presently is seeking to renovate the county’s old jail house to continue updates to structures around the square. The proposed jail house renovations would turn the facility into a tourism center and trail head. Charlotte is home to Charlotte Elementary and Middle schools, and African-American one-room school houses still stand strong among the city’s hills and hollows. Cedar Grove School on Picnic Street now serves as the local Free Mason and Eastern Star’s lodge. The Promise Land Community Club has restored that community’s historic one-room school, which also serves as a Civil War Trails marker. Much African-American history is tied to Charlotte, and Charlotte’s black community annually comes together to celebrate their roots, reunite with friends

and family who’ve left the area, and to help those in the community in need. The Charlotte Picnic, which will celebrated for the 112th time this year, has taken place in August for decades.

History Early settlers were drawn to present-day Dickson County by the soil, natural resources and brown iron ore. Settlers in the late 1700s established a small frontier settlement known as Town Creek. Today that area is Charlotte. On Nov. 3, 1803, the state General Assembly created the County of Dickson. On Aug. 4, 1804, the Tennessee

General Assembly created the Town of Charlotte to serve as the “Seat of Dickson County Government” naming Robert Dunning, Sterling Brewer, John Davidson, Montgomery Bell and George Clark as the first town commissioners. Their first formal meeting was December 1806, the same year the town’s first post office opened. In January 1814, John Humphries was paid $2 “for drawing a plan of the Town of Charlotte.” The plan consisted of 59 lots and 11 streets around a public square. Charlotte flourished from the 1820s to 1840s. In 1843, John Eubank, who served in the state House of Repre-

sentatives, introduced a bill to locate the state capitol in Charlotte. Of the 74 House members present, Charlotte received 17 votes for becoming the state capitol, but failed to win a majority. Charlotte’s prosperity in the early 19th century was impacted by two events. First, on May 30, 1830, a devastating tornado hit Charlotte. Next, in November 1863, the Civil War came to Charlotte. No major battles occurred, but skirmishes and guerrilla warfare were common. Confiscated residences housed Federal officers, troops camped around the square and farms were raided for supplies. White Bluff, Burns and Dickson grew along the railroad, leaving Charlotte comparatively unchanged. History information from the Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

In 1803, Cumberland Furnace was an industrialized community with foundries, converting iron ore into pig iron. James Robertson purchased 640 acres on Barton’s Creek from a Revolutionary War private and turned it into an iron plantation, which today is unincorporated Cumberland Furnace. The iron works shut down in 1942 and Cumberland Furnace slipped back into a quiet existence. Remnants of the past can still be seen in Cumberland Furnace, from the old train depot, to the plantation commissary and old storefronts. The Drouillard Mansion still overlooks the valley. It was built following the Civil War. Information from the Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

DOWNTOWN OVERVIEW

SHELLEY MAYS / GANNETT TENNESSEE

A view of Main Street in downtown Dickson, which in November of 2011 celebrated the completion of a $1.5 million, phase I revitalization project. The Main Street enhancements included construction and installment of sidewalks, curbs, gutters, lighting fixtures, resurfacing, landscaping, crosswalks, bike racks and benches.

Downtown makeover The city of Dickson is the central hub of activity in Dickson County. Though not the county seat, Dickson receives the most traffic as a result of its proximity to Interstate 40 and having more residents and businesses than anywhere else in the county. There are several grocery and retail stores, a farmers market, as well as fast food and fine dining. Downtown Dickson is going through a revitalization process, much of which has been completed Phase I was finished Novem-

60

ber of 2012. Work on Phase II began early in 2014 and will include completion of Main Street to Walnut Street and Rickert Avenue and work on College Street toward Highway 46. The state has approved a grant for Phase III by Gov. Bill Haslam. TDOT Commissioner John Schroer presented a $595,461 Transportation Alternative Grant for Phase III though the details of Phase III have not yet been determined by the Downtown Dickson Committee. Downtown renovations

include repaved roads, wider sidewalks, new light posts, benches, bike racks, and decorative brick and the city of Dickson seal in the walkways. The design firm in charge of the project is Lose & Associates. The project's construction firm was Charles DeWeese Construction. The city received another TDOT enhancement grant for Phase II of the project, which will include renovation of Main Street to Walnut Street and Rickert Avenue and work on College Street toward Highway 46.

REVITALIZATION TIMELINE 2007: Downtown Committee formed and looks at ways to revitalize downtown Dickson. May 2008: Architectural firm Lose & Associates recommended by Downtown Committee and chosen by the city council to create the downtown development plan to support a grant application to TDOT, and for council members and downtown business owners to see. October 2008: Initial designs

DICKSON HISTORY

From Smeedsville to Dickson In the early 1800s, several iron furnaces and forges were located near the area that today is Dickson. This was during the iron oremining boom. On Dec. 3, 1860, William Crutcher purchased 533 acres for more than $2,000. He then constructed the first building – 16-by-16 feet and made of log – in what is now Dickson near where Bank of Dickson stands on north Main Street.

Smeedsville Around 1862, one of the men in charge of railroad construction from Nashville to Johnsonville on the Tennessee River was civil engineer E.C. Smeed. His office was where Dickson is today. In his honor, the name of the rail stop was called Smeedsville. On May 10, 1864, the railroad was finished and the first train passed through Dickson County headed west out of Nashville to the Tennessee River. The train was carrying a load of Union troops and Andrew Johnson, military governor of Tennessee.

Dickson established Crutcher eventually defaulted on payment of his land and in September 1867 the court ordered the land to be sold at public auction. On Oct. 7, 1867, records show Conrad Berringer purchased the land for $5,200 and at once began to establish a town. Within six years, the town had been established, platted, chartered and the name changed from Smeedsville to Dick-

son. The name Dickson officially came into being on Jan. 6, 1873, as a petition was filed with the Clerk of the Chancery Court in Charlotte to establish the town of Dickson. On Dec. 2, 1873, the charter was granted for the town of Dickson.

Charter abolished to prohibit liquor sales? With a population of nearly 800, the citizens of Dickson voted to abolish its charter on March 16, 1883. It is believed this was done to close the growing number of saloons in town – state law prohibited the sale of liquor

in unincorporated towns. The act to abolish the charter was signed by Gov. Ben McMillin on March 19, 1883. The town existed in an unincorporated manner until it was re-chartered on April 22, 1899, with a population of a little over 1,300 individuals.

Two county courthouses A county election was held on Sept. 1, 1898 to determine if the county seat and courthouse would be moved from Charlotte to Dickson. The majority were for the move. Still, a compromise was made in the state legislature

to divide the county into seven equal districts and have a courthouse in both Dickson and Charlotte. In 1925, the Courthouse in Dickson was condemned by an engineer hired by the State of Tennessee. On April 26, 1926, Dickson County leaders voted against the funding of a new courthouse in Dickson. On July 9, 1928, work crews began demolishing the old courthouse in Dickson. In 1931, a bill was passed abolishing the circuit court of the town of Dickson. SOURCE: Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

TOWN OF SLAYDEN

Slayden homecoming Slayden has an estimated population of 230 people and 116 registered voters. The second weekend in September, the Slayden Community Center hosts its annual homecoming. The Masonic Camp Lodge No. 455 serves a ham and egg breakfast to kick off the event. The local Free and Accepted Masons organization meets at 7 p.m. the fourth Thursday each month. The Slayden Community Center board meets at 7:30 p.m. the first Sunday of the month. The community center is located at 100 School Street. The Masonic lodge sits right behind the center.

History Slayden is named after a prominent Virginia family who settled in the Bartons Creek and Woods Valley area in the early 1800s near where the town is today. Timber and later tobacco were the primary draw. Even today, timber and tobacco are important sources of income for those living in the Slayden area. The town was platted in 1898 by Robert B. Stone. Slayden was incorporated in 1913. The charter set up a form of government that is still in effect today. The incorporation of

FILE / THE HERALD

Vintage cars make a splash at Slayden's annual homecoming.

Slayden occurred 10 years after the L & N Railroad had established what was known as the Clarksville Mineral Branch. Slayden was originally called Slaydenview, but at the time the railroad made its way from Clarksville to Dickson, the official postal name became Slayden.

The first school in Slayden was organized in the 1890s. That building burned in 1929. The present Slayden Community Center was rebuilt after the fire. Grades 1-8 were taught until 1962, when the students were transferred to Vanleer. The Great Depression caused the railroad to be

taken up in 1936. In 1984, the train depot was bought by a developing company, and moved to Grinder’s Switch to make it a Minnie Pearl museum. HISTORY SOURCE: Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

TOWN OF WHITE BLUFF

Keeps getting better White Bluff is a growing community situated in the northeast part of Dickson County. The town of about 3,206 people has been planning for growth expected within the next 5-10 years. Since 2009, the town has made a number of improvements, including establishing the Jennie Woodworth Library, renovating sidewalks along Main Street, replacing old sewer lines and creating a growth plan. In February 2011, the town established its first ambulance unit, located at the fire station. The police force changed vehicles in 2010, from the traditional Ford Crown Victoria to a progressive hybrid, the Toyota Prius. Mike Holman, who is now the White Bluff police chief, came up with the idea as a cost-savings measure to cut back on fuel. Residents can find recreational opportunities at the Field of Dreams playground, which has a walking track. A walking track also is located at the Veteran’s Park ball field, along with a dog park. Plans for a skate park and new community center are underway too. Annually residents celebrate the Main Street Festival, during which the town closes Main Street allowing patrons to enjoy jambalaya, arts, crafts and live music. Other events include the Grillin’ & Greens Cook-Off, Electric Light Christmas parade, and Apple Butter Festival. Schools in town are White Bluff Elementary and William James Middle.

WHITE BLUFF HISTORY

A monument bearing over 350 names of White Bluff area veterans – living and deceased – was unveiled in March 2009. The monument is located in front of White Bluff Town Hall along Highway 70.

Town rebuilt after fire The town of White Bluff was incorporated in 1869. At that time it had a slightly different name: Whitebluffs. The name was derived from the white bluffs overlooking “Turnbull Creek” where the army had set up camp. On June 1, 1937, the town postmaster, James K. StClair had the name officially changed to White Bluff.

78

With the railroad and U.S. Highway 70 going through White Bluff, the town grew. In 1946, there was a fire that destroyed much of the town. The fire went across both Highway 70 and Taylor Town Road, taking several businesses on the south side, buildings on the west side of Taylor Town Road and on the east side of the James Building it took the Methodist Church. A short time later

another fire took an apartment building on Jackson Street, killing two children. There was no fire department and so Zollie Bibb Jr., along with others in the town, worked to start a volunteer fire department. Only one school existed in White Bluff in the early- to mid-1900s, William James School. It was for first-graders to seniors. The post office was at one time where

the funeral home is now located and then on the corner of Main and Jackson streets. Williams James was converted to a middle school in 1972. Today White Bluff is a bedroom community of Nashville and the lifestyle is much faster. SOURCE: Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

COMMUNITY ARTS DEVELOPMENT

DICKSON HERALD

Art pieces were for sale at various artists tents at the former Firefly Fine Arts Festival at The Renaissance Center grounds in Dickson in 2010. The Firefly Festival, which was headed up by the Community Arts Development of Dickson County, did not take place last year, but may return in future years.

County’s artistic identity promoted DICKSON FACT BOOK 2015

Community Arts Development of Dickson County was created in 2003 to preserve and nurture the area’s artistic identity and nurture it through programs promoting the arts. CAD’s objectives include making the arts visible, providing opportunities to new and experienced artists, acting as a resource for information on the arts for the public and educating people about the effect of the arts on people and communities. The non-profit group strives to serve as an administrative board with goals to: •Find grants and funding for the arts; •Create programs that

connect artists with community needs; •Provide artists with a venue for exposure; •Provide information for people with questions about the arts; •Promote the arts and their role in the community, and; •Provide scholarships and other educational opportunities for students interested in the arts. Working toward these goals, CAD has also organized themed “celebrity” art auctions, coordinated public art projects, awarded scholarships and presented grants for arts programs at Dickson County elementary schools.

LEADERSHIP DICKSON COUNTY

A recent Leadership Dickson County class.

Leadership Dickson County is a program to develop a diverse network of leaders throughout the county with a broad understanding of the area’s community needs and issues. The mission of Leadership Dickson County is to establish an ongoing program which will nurture the most valuable community resource-its people. The result will be the establishment of an ever-enlarging group of people with visions for the future who can transform followers into colleagues for progress rather than resisters of change.

How does it work? A group of community leaders with diverse backgrounds and experiences participate in a program of activities and events that will broaden their perspectives and decision-making skills to better address community needs and resources. These men and women may be nominated by individuals,

124

organizations/businesses or may nominate themselves. The program consists of a two-day opening retreat, seven program days and a closing retreat as well as a graduation ceremony. Prior to the start of each year’s class, eight different one day programs will be planned. A topic of community interest or issues will be the subject of each program. The agenda may include but is not limited to: government, education, health care, judicial, history, social services, economic development, skills development and team projects. The day’s program might include plenary sessions, group discussions, role play exercises, site visits, tours, etc. For example, a day on education might involve visiting several schools.

What happens at the end? The end of each year’s program will not be the end

of participant involvement. Leadership Dickson County Alumni Association provides educational and social opportunities for the participants. Alumni also support the program by assisting with planning for future programs and by identifying potential participants.

How to participate? Candidates for Leadership Dickson County must submit an application. The final makeup of the class will be determined by a Selection Committee appointed by the Leadership Board of Directors.

What is the cost? Leadership Dickson County is a tuition based program. The participant or his/her sponsoring organization or business is expected to cover the cost. (Limited scholarships are available. For details, contact the program coordinator.) Tuition for the

class is $375 with a $25 application fee due when application is submitted.

What are the benefits? Most of us know less about our local government and civic organizations than we do about our national government and organizations. It is difficult to assume a leadership position in the community unless you are informed. Leadership Dickson County helps develop leaders with more awareness and sensitivity to community issues. Participants will establish a network that cuts across social, economic, professional and jurisdictional lines. Lastly, the community benefits by having a cadre of people with a greater understanding of community issues and how these issues need to be addressed.

DICKSON COUNTY HELP CENTER

The Help Center’s Clothing Department

Helping families through crisis The Dickson County Help Center is sometimes the only resource that some county residents have to obtain food, clothing and financial assistance. The Help Center in Dickson provides aid to Dickson County residents who are experiencing a temporary financial crisis. The aid comes in the form of food, clothing, prescription medication, help with utility bills and temporary shelter. The center also serves families in Dickson County who have lost everything due to fire or other acts of nature. The Help Center is located at 103 W. College St. in downtown Dickson. The center has a 15,000square-feet thrift store retail space, allowing for a larger selection of items.

DICKSON FACT BOOK 2015

The thrift store is open Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; the assistance office Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (closed noon-1 p.m. for lunch). The center maintains a food bank, which is stocked through private donations and special food drives conducted by local schools, the U.S. Postal Service (letter carriers) and other organizations. Kroger, Wal-Mart, Odom's Tennessee Quality Foods and Second Harvest Food Bank also make regular donations.

Volunteers, thrift store and funding The center depends largely on volunteers, and more are always needed. The Help Center operates

a thrift store where donated items are sold at bargain prices. Anyone is welcome to shop at the thrift store. The store revenue pays for the Help Center's overhead. This enables 100 percent of monetary donations and the remaining revenue from the store to be used to aid those in need. In the past, the Help Center has received various amounts of funding from the United Way of Dickson County, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, Dickson County government, and the city of Dickson. The majority of funding comes from local churches, civic organizations, businesses and private individuals. The Dickson Electric System, the Greater Dick-

son Gas Authority and the Water Authority of Dickson County all have programs where their customers can add a dollar or more to their utility bill each month and Executive that money is Director donated to the Renee Boehm Help Center. For those wishing to drop off donations, parking is available at the Murrell Street entrance. The center accepts donations Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. from the Dennison Place Alley. You access the alley from College Street, next to Ragan's Friendly Neighbor Furniture Store.

HUMANE SOCIETY

A preliminary artist rendering of June’s Pet Haven and Bark Park.

Connecting pets with people The Humane Society of Dickson County is nonprofit dedicated to educating the public in responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. The organization aims to provide a clean, safe and healthy environment to the animals it serves, and treat them with kindness and compassion. The Humane Society of Dickson County accepts animals from all of Dickson County, including the following Tennessee cities: Dickson, Burns, Charlotte, Cumberland Furnace, Slayden and White Bluff. The facility has limited intake and maintains a waiting list. The mission of Humane Society of Dickson County is to have a state-of-the-art facility providing top level care for our shelter pets during transition to their new homes. The Humane Society’s goal is to increase adoption rates with grassroots efforts in areas of education and public awareness, highlighting the benefits associated with adopting a shelter pet. By combining a park with pet friendly amenities, a community focus, and a warm, inviting shelter, the

126

Humane Society of Dickson County plans to build a bridge that connects people and pets with the hope of enriching the lives of both. In September, the Speyer family announced and unveiled plans for a new recreational area, which includes a community park and pet shelter to be built in Dickson County. The park will be named June’s Pet Haven and Bark Park. The projected cost of this facility, along with a 3 year endowment is $3.5 million. The Speyer family is committing a matching pledge campaign of $1.75 million towards the construction. The plans include a state of the art pet shelter and community accessible recreational area that includes a pet friendly park, walking trials, playgrounds, fenced socialization areas for large and small breed dogs, and a venue space. The facility is being named after June H. Speyer, the mother of Stuart Speyer, Dr. April Speyer, and Dr. Robert Speyer. June was a devoted mother who took great joy in spending time with her family and raising her children, both the twolegged and four-legged kind.

The staff members, the board and the 50 volunteers who have considerable training and experience in the field of domestic violence work diligently to protect victims of abuse. Women Are Safe was established in 1987 and now have a shelter that is a safe place for up to 15 women and their children. They give women the knowledge of the legal and human rights. And we provide women with the necessary resource to break free of the violence and establish safe lives for themselves and their children. There is a 24 hour crisis line, court ad-

lence to local classrooms as well as numerous businesses, civic and church groups. Such presentations include: Boys Against Violence, a 6 week curriculum that engages middle school boys in activities which promote gender respect; Teen Dating and Healthy Relationships; and RADAR, a one hour workshop offering ways to help a friend, coworker or church member who is a victim of domestic violence. Based on reported cases,

it is estimated that one in four families experience violence on a regular basis. Not all cases are reported, however, and it is generally agreed that the problem is far more prevalent than these numbers indicate. Because victims are often reluctant to talk about the abuse, domestic violence hides behind shame and fear. Many people feel that this issue does not affect them because they are not primary victims, but it must be remembered that violence never stays contained behind closed doors. Domestic violence touches us all. While the crime may be invisible to you, its repercussions victimize you in ways you may not have thought about.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR DICKSON COUNTY

Benefiting our county The Community Foundation for Dickson County has been benefiting our community since 1999. Making grants to support education, health, safety and a range of other areas to make our community a better place. CFDC is the product of the Leadership of Dickson County Alumni Association and a group of local citizens. Once the idea of an endowment fund took hold, other citizens joined the group and then affiliated with the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. CFMT provides the stability, investment expertise and legal work necessary for the endowment to succeed. Dickson County citizens identified three major areas in which to concentrate Foundation efforts: educational opportunities for citizens of all ages, leadership and citizenship initiatives, and programs that will improve the quality of life. In fall last year, thirteen grants totaling $40,200 were awarded to local 501(c)3 institution. Since CFDC began making grants in 2002, over $367,000 has been distributed to local groups. The CFDC endowment is like a savings account for the community – the principal will remain intact, and
