Wilson County, Tennessee
Wilson County is right on Nashville’s doorstep, but it has its own thing going on. The county has a mix of old and new. There’s farmland, sure, but also some high-tech industry.
Lebanon’s the county seat. No, not that Lebanon – this one’s pronounced “Leb-nun”. It’s known as the “Antiques Capital of Tennessee.” Old stuff everywhere. Ever heard of Cracker Barrel? Yeah, it started right here in Lebanon.
Cedars of Lebanon State Park is a local favorite. Great hiking, fishing, all that good stuff. Wilson County has some quirky claims to fame. The county fair is a big deal too and is one of the oldest in the state. Oh, and if you’re into cars, they’ve got this awesome classic car show every year.
