Dickson County, Tennessee
The rolling hills of Middle Tennessee are home to Dickson County. It’s just a stone’s throw west of Nashville, making it a favorite for commuters who want some peace and quiet.
The county has a rich history, dating back to the early 1800s. Dickson is the biggest town with a downtown that’s seeing new life these days. The county’s known for its music scene too. In fact, a few country stars got their start here.
Summers can be hot, but fall is a real treat with all the colors. You’ll find some great fishing spots along the Piney River. There’s a mix of old and new here, with some folks tracing their roots back generations and others just moving in.
