Old Hickory Lake
With more than 22,000 acres of water, no horsepower
limits and stunning landscapes, scenic Old Hickory
Lake offers something for everyone.
Boat.
Old Hickory Lake has enough big water to give gearheads their throttle fix and plenty of secluded coves for
those who prefer a more placid setting. Full-service
marinas offer everything boaters could possibly need,
including fuel, dockage, rack storage and service.
Play.
Mid-summer is high season for fun on the water.
During your adventure on Old Hickory Lake, don’t be
surprised if you see thundering offshore powerboats
racing for prizes in a poker run or wake boarders
showing off their skills at a competition.
Stay Dry.
You don’t have to go in the water to experience the
charms of Old Hickory Lake. Enjoy stunning waterfront
vistas from Lock 4 Park and Bledsoe Creek State Park
in Gallatin, or from Memorial Park and Sanders Ferry
Park in Hendersonville.

Historic Sites
Sumner County paints a vivid picture of life in the postcolonial, post-Revolutionary War and Civil War periods.
Sumner County is fortunate to have seven historic
homes and two fort sites which are open to the public.
Lovingly-preserved mansions hold little-seen treasures,
including a rare oil painting of George Washington and
a set of Martha Washington’s china.
Some historic sites feature guided tours where you can
hear about how life evolved from one of survival on the
frontier to a more comfortable life on the plantation.
You'll be able to stand in rooms where Andrew
Jackson, Sam Houston and other founding fathers of
our country had dinner, planned strategy and danced
the night away.
Does your family have a Sumner County connection?

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 many sites in
Sumner County that are now listed on the Tennessee Civil
War Trails.
Ring of Fire Trail
Venture off the beaten path on the Ring
of Fire Trail, part of the new 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.
Continue to the charming historic town of Red Boiling
Springs, and drive Highway 52 to an area full of roadside
markets with fresh produce. Make sure to 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.
Two-Step • Square Dancing • Family Environment
Available for tour groups, reunions, showers, receptions and birthdays.
