WILSON COUNTY, TN


A Great Place To Stay, Relax & Enjoy

Conveniently located on U.S. Interstate 40 in the heart of Tennessee, the communities of Lebanon, Mt. Juliet and Watertown (Wilson County) are considered the eastern gateway to Nashville. Ranked eighth in the nation and third in the Southeast for quality of life and scenic beauty with a mix of historic and cosmopolitan allure, we should be on your checklist.

There is great value in experiencing downtime, and we offer unique shopping opportunities, historic sites and quaint communities to see, golf courses to play, treasures to find in antique shops or attractions to visit, like the Nashville Super Speedway, cultural museums, Native American mounds, Civil War sites and more.

For the outdoor enthusiasts, we are blessed with two state parks, a river and two lakes. Come experience hiking trails, nature walks, horseback riding or canoe rides. Also scattered throughout Wilson County are community parks with various activities for the whole family, including playground equipment for children, wading pools and ball fields. For additional information on accommodations, points of interest, special events and more, visit here.

Don’t miss the recently launched “Promised Land Trail,” one of several trails along the Discover Tennessee Trails & Byways Program, showcasing the state’s major sites, as well as its off-the-beaten-path attractions. The local trail follows Highway 70, where you can experience rich history, great food, shopping and more. It was said to have been a challenge for many of Tennessee’s first settlers to make their way from Northeast Tennessee, over the Cumberland Plateau and into Nashville. Many of them believed they were headed to a “promised land.” For information on the Promised Land Trail along the Discover Tennessee Trails & Byways, visit here.

Tennessee is also a perfect touring ground for Civil War enthusiasts. In fact, more conflicts took place in our state than in any other state except Virginia. Tennessee’s significance in the War Between the States was due in large part to its critical river and railroad systems. Today you can follow in the footsteps of the “Blue and Gray” on battlegrounds large and small following Tennessee’s Civil War Trail. The City of Lebanon has four sites on the trail interpreted by the Civil War Trails program. As the nation prepares to commemorate the conflict’s sesquicentennial in 2011, there’s no better time to explore our Civil War heritage. For information about the Tennessee Civil War Trails program, visit here.
