Situated 15 miles north of Nashville and stretching all the way to the border of Kentucky is the primarily rural Sumner County. The most populated communities are the county seat of Gallatin and Hendersonville, although this area is home to other growing communities. Hendersonville is especially popular with visitors, since the community has attracted Middle Tennessee’s most concentrated cluster of celebrity residents.

Newcomers who appreciate affordable housing, scenic landscapes, open space, and a diversity of recreational opportunities are drawn to this corner of the Nashville metropolitan area. Many of the handsome waterfront estates are more reasonably priced than a similar home would be in Old Hickory and other Davidson County enclaves. Many residents are commuters to Nashville, while others find employment closer to home. Industrial development throughout Sumner County is largely manufacturing, although the leading employers include those in the healthcare and service sectors.

Services
Sumner County offers three outstanding medical facilities for state-of-the-art medical and surgical specialties that are convenient to a regional population. Sumner Regional Medical Center is in Gallatin, Hendersonville Hospital carries the city name, and Portland is home to
the Tennessee Christian Medical Center. Hundreds of skilled professionals that represent every major specialty operate private practices throughout the county. All three of the hospitals actively promote wellness through public health screenings, educational workshops and classes, and community awareness programs.

Complementing the system of public and private schools on the elementary and secondary levels is the strong presence of Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin. This public, two-year institution serves students of all ages in a 12-county region with a comprehensive selection of courses, certifications, vocational and career training opportunities, and college-track programs. With an enrollment that exceeds 6,600, the college represents a major educational treasure for Sumner County residents.

Lifestyle
Surrounded by the Cumberland River and Old Hickory Lake, Sumner County provides outstanding opportunities for water sports and leisure activities. Boat docks and an array of community parks provide attractive locations for fishing, sunbathing, picnicking, biking, and hiking. One of the county’s foremost recreational destinations is the Bluegrass Yacht and Country Club in Hendersonville. However, several lush golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, fitness centers, and a myriad of sports courts are available for public enjoyment.

Indoor attractions include fine museums like the Sumner County Museum, with 250,000 artifacts including fossils over 475 million years old and Native American displays. Trinity Music City, USA in Hendersonville presents a virtual reality theater of “The Revolutionary,” as well as the original estate and garden of country music legend Conway Twitty, and more than one million twinkling lights during the holiday season. Aficionados of the performing arts will enjoy the live stage performances of the Sumner County Playhouse. Even the town of Millersville entices visitors to a truly unique venue, the Beverage Container Museum.

Sumner County has managed to retain much of its natural beauty and charm in the face of phenomenal development and growth. Harmonizing its bustling urban centers with vast stretches of picturesque rural acreage, lush vineyards and wineries, and the appeal of small-town friendliness, this panoramic area just beyond the bright lights of Nashville is an ideal place to live, play, and work.
