Trails
Tennessee Civil War Trail
As a gateway to the South, Tennessee was
vital to both the Union and Confederacy. In
Sumner County, the railroad and river were
important transportation routes, and the
Union Army occupied the county seat of
Gallatin throughout the war. Daily life quickly
changed as the area was drained of resources to
support the army, and morale sank as charges of
treason ran rampant between former neighbors.
Learn more about soldiers, civilians, and daily life at
the 13 sites in Sumner County that are now listed on
the Tennessee Civil War Trails.
Ring of Fire Trail
Bold Enough Challenge Rodeo
Venture off the beaten path on the
Ring of Fire Trail, part of the
Discover Tennessee Trails program.
A trail that is rich in music and
history, it winds through portions of Sumner County
such as Hendersonville where legends Johnny and
June Carter Cash, Roy Orbison, and Conway Twitty
called home. Travel through Gallatin's historic square
on the way down Highway 25 to Castalian Springs,
where Cragfont Mansion awaits your arrival. Drive
down Highway 52 and stop at 5 Chefs in Portland for
lunch where the strawberry cake is always fresh and
sample some of Tennessee's finest wine at Sumner
Crest Winery.
