An excerpt from The Life and Writings of Moses Fisk by Tim Barlow.

You speak of my staying in New England. I repeat that I cannot. It [Hilham] is my place. It is wild. But there is room, prospects... Here, "please with a rattle," I may found an academy. True, I want Yankee society. Will they come or will they not? A clergyman, a preceptor, a printer, etc., etc., etc. are wanted. They should be live people; folks of energy; happiness their object, wealth as a mean, webbed together; a constellation; a city of eminence. Two or three such formed institutions here might benefit others as well as themselves Will people come, I say, or will they not? -Moses Fisk to John Fisk November 14 1812

Tim wrote, "despite this meticulous planning in road building Hilham never became the metropolis that its founder had envisioned."

The people of Overton County, the Upper Cumberland and Tennessee are proud of our heritage as seen below.

We believe the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Rooted deeply in our values as a community we believe in taking care of one another.

Further, Christianity is deeply rooted in our culture. Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

Personally, I believe that Jesus Christ is who he said he was, that when Jesus died and rose that it somehow counted for me and all whom call on his name to be saved.

On this day 105 years ago, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote after decades of struggle.

Livingston's own Governor A.H. Roberts played a crucial role in this historic moment. As Tennessee's governor, he called for a special legislative session to ratify the amendment, making Tennessee the pivotal 36th state needed to secure women's suffrage nationwide.

A proud moment in both our nation's history and our community's legacy.

,🥾🥾🥾Attention all hikers!🥾🥾🥾

Did you know Cumberland County has over 75 miles of trails? The 2025 Cumberland County hiking marathon begins on September 1st. This is a month-long event that challenges participants to hike 26.2 miles of designated area trails. My family first hiked it in 2021, we wondered if anyone had ever hiked all of it in one day. So, in 2023 we mapped the route, found babysitters, packed our bags and set out before dawn hiking over 27 miles that day (two wrong turns) in a little under 14 hours.

It's not necessary to complete the entire marathon in one day as you have all month. But it's a great event that gets families out active in nature during the Month of September. It's free to sign up registration is open through August 31. Friends of the Trails will give you a T-shirt if you complete at least one trail during the month.

I'm told that calories don't count during fair week.

What's your favorite fair food?

I stopped by Taylors Crossroads Fire Department booth at the Overton County Agricultural Fair, Livingston, TN and got their signature Fully Involved Fries.

It's been an honor to serve the citizens of Overton County alongside the rest of the Commissioners and everyone at the County Mayors office for the past six months. Tonight, the commission adopted the 2025-26 budget. The new property tax rate is at the lowest rate it's been in over 50 or 60 years at 1.3373, the 2024-25 rate was 2.24. Despite keeping the rate low, the commission and those in the mayor's office were able to give significant raises to our first responders and county employees. Also, we were able to provide additional support to our fire departments, the American Legion and the Rickman Recreation Center. While there's always room for improvement we can celebrate this accomplishment for the time being. Livingston and Overton County are incredible places to live because of the incredible people.
