Fentress County, Tennessee

Fentress Location Map Tennessee

Fentress County perches on the Cumberland Plateau in Middle Tennessee. It’s a land of deep gorges and towering cliffs. Jamestown, the county seat, sits high above sea level, offering cool summers.

The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area draws visitors from all over. Alvin C. York, one of the most decorated American soldiers of World War I, called this county home. There’s a state park named after him that’s worth a visit.

The county has a proud Appalachian heritage that’s still alive and well. Bluegrass music echoes through these hills on warm summer nights. Winters can be harsh up here, but the scenery makes up for it. It’s the kind of place where you can still find peace and quiet, if that’s what you’re after.
