MORE THAN YOU EXPECT

This former railroad town blends craftmanship, character, and a bit of Tennessee boldness into one memorable stop in Giles County.

​

It's home to the original Big Machine Distillery and tasting room, where the brand first got its start before expanding across the state. What began here still feels rooted here, with a welcoming soace to sample and sip in the place that started it all. Just a few miles down the road, you'll find Col. Littleton, The Great American Leather Company, where world-renowned leather craftsman Col. Littleton has built a reputation for timeless design and meticulous workmanship. His handcrafted leather goods have found their way to former presidents, celebrities, and customers who simply appreciate something made to last.

The railroad museum, open for public viewing, preserves the story of the trains that once shaped this community. The historic square remains a gathering place, anchored by Soda Pop Junction, a locally loved burger joint known for its stacked burgers and thick milkshakes.
