State Park Recommendation |
|
In 2006, Governor Bredesen announced his intentions to create a new, low impact state park south of Nashville in either Williamson, Maury, or Hickman counties.
Community leaders in Hickman county quickly formed a volunteer team to respond to the Governor's intentions. The group carefully examined the natural settings in the county, took many photograph as they collected many more, and sought the recommendations of others. The following is slightly edited version of the video production that the group presented to the Governor's office in January.

Just a few miles southwest of Nashville, Tennessee, we are easy to find.
- Interstate 40 runs through our northern edge.
- The Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across our southeast corner.
- State Highway 100, the old route to Memphis from Nashville, threads through the heart of our area.
- State Highway 50, the Minnie Pearl Parkway, passes Minnie Pearl's home at Grinders Switch going from I-40 to Centerville, Columbia, and I-65

Come, step into that imaginary place that Minnie Pearl called home,
Grinders Switch. Yes, there is a real Grinders Switch. It's just
across the railroad
trestle from Centerville, Tennessee, where Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon
grew up and
created Minnie Pearl. When you walk around the old town square of
Centerville, Tennessee, it takes little imagination to see that
mythical place, Grinders Switch, and all its characters emerge.
