Jackson County, Tennessee
Jackson County is up in the Upper Cumberland region of Middle Tennessee. It’s not exactly a bustling metropolis. But that’s okay. The pace is slow here. Relaxed.
Gainesboro, the county seat, sits high on the bluffs overlooking the Cumberland River. It’s a view worth seeing. Visitors love this place. Kayaking, hiking, fishing – take your pick.
The county’s covered with caves too. Spelunkers, rejoice! There’s a strong sense of community here. People look out for each other. It’s the kind of place where Friday night high school football is a big deal.
