We're not known for large, commercial farms. The facts are that our farms have always been small, and the owners worked hard to make a living. The hills are steep, and some of the soil is rocky. Along the Duck River and larger streams, the soil is very, very fertile. Some of our farms have been here for a long time--we have a number of "Century Farms" that have been in continuous operation in the same family for over 100 years. Most of them display signs noting their long history.

Some of our communities go back hundreds of years--well just barely. Some of the history connects with what we're taught in schools, like Meriwether Lewis of Lewis and Clark. Some of it supplements our knowledge of history with new details, like the waterfalls named for Andrew Jackson near the home of his good friend John Gordon.
