We'd love to hear what you think!Cannon County may be one of Tennessee’s smaller counties, but its history is remarkably deep.Beginning along Jim Cummings Highway, we travel through a landscape shaped by the Highland Rim, the Central Basin, and Short Mountain—the highest point between the Appalachians and the Ozarks. Near the mountain’s base, the East Fork of the Stones River begins its journey across Middle Tennessee.Along the way, we encounter communities whose names changed, overlapped, or disappeared; roads that succeeded where proposed railroads failed; and institutions that transformed life in the county. We explore Woodbury, Auburntown, Gassaway, Readyville, Bradyville, and the smaller communities surrounding them.The episode also examines Cannon County’s experiences during the Trail of Tears and Civil War, its once-prominent distilling industry, its reputation as “Shotgun County,” and the influence of figures including Dr. Jesse Adams, J. B. Kirk, Uncle Dave Macon, and Mister Jim Cummings.This is the story of a small county with an unusually rich history—and a place where the past remains visible in its roads, buildings, cemeteries, communities, and people.📚 SourcesWorks by R.
