Known far and wide as “The Official Birthplace of Southern Gospel Music,” Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, has something for everyone! If you’re touring the Tennessee Music Pathways, look for the marker honoring James D. Vaughan- the father of southern gospel music. And if you’re visiting during the summer, make sure to attend the annual James D. Vaughan Quartet Festival, where you’ll hear some of the most talented voices around! Depending on when you visit, you may be just in time for some of their annual events, parades, and festivals such as the Fishing Derby, Tennessee Music and Food Fest, Springtime Merry Market, Clash of the Monster Trucks, Summertown Bluegrass Reunion, Rumble at the Crossroads Weekend, Lone Star Rodeo, Lawco Freedom Fest, Crossroads of Dixie Antique Tractor and Engine Show, David Crockett Days, Bulls and Barrels Rodeo, Middle Tennessee District Fair, Oktoberfest, Antique Car and Truck Show, The Merry Market, Lawrence County Christmas Parade, Christmas in the Country, and much more! If you prefer the outdoors, they have many parks with many amenities! Just try the Rotary Park, Bobby Brewer Park, the Old Armory, Scout Park, Veteran’s Park, David Crockett State Park, or any of the neighborhood parks, like Richardson Park, Brannon Street Park, Simms Street Park, and/or the David Crockett Cabin. These amenities include volleyball Courts, meeting spaces, yoga classrooms, walking tracks and courts, soccer, softball, baseball, and football fields, batting cages, picnic shelters, swimming pool with diving boards and a slide, indoor and outdoor basketball, tennis court, shuffleboard courts, and if that wasn’t enough, an 18-hole Disc Golf Course! Last but certainly not least, if you're looking to step back into simpler times and/or purchase a variety of prepared foods, produce, furniture, leather goods, baskets, and many other items, follow the handmade signs at the end of an Amish driveway to the sellers, on Monday through Saturday. There, you'll find access to the Amish Heritage Wagon Tours, a bustling Amish community, and a wonderfully unique experience for the whole family.
