East of Nashville in the metropolitan region lies the rural expanse of Wilson County, drawing together the relaxed pace of country living and the excitement of nearby urban amenities. This former center for cotton milling preserves traces of the past at every turn, including traditional town squares with Victorian roof lines and white frame country churches. Miles of fields dotted with cedar trees create a scenic backdrop for friendly small communities known for their Southern charm and gracious hospitality. With its convenient lifestyle and natural beauty, Wilson County is drawing the interest of relocating executives, retirees, families, and country music celebrities.

The industries throughout the county are diverse, ranging from food product manufacturers to electronics. While the leading city of Lebanon claims it own airport, residents and businesses enjoy quick and easy access to the neighboring Nashville International Airport. A vast network of major thoroughfares ensures convenient travel throughout the region. The Cumberland River forms the county’s northern border, providing scenic beauty and outdoor adventure while adding barge service to the comprehensive network of commercial transportation facilities.

Services
Residents of Wilson County are fortunate to have the University Medical Center’s comprehensive array of facilities and services available just minutes from home. Some of the specialties offered at the center include cancer care, diagnostic treatment and surgical services, emergency care, home health, intensive care, and pediatrics. The UMC Heart Center, the UMC Rehab Center at MacFarland, Women’s Pavilion, and the Timber Ridge Neurorestorative Center are among the many auxiliary units. Nursing homes and retirement centers dot the county, while skilled professionals in almost every major specialty are available in private practice.

Wilson County takes tremendous pride in supporting its educational system, striving to involve the entire community in the learning process. Active parental groups, community volunteers, and area businesses lend valuable hours and concrete resources to facilitate the dynamic and progressive educational network. Resources are also available at each school in order to meet individualized needs from enrichment to special education. The county is home to highly respected Cumberland University, specializing in liberal arts and education degrees. An impressive list of graduates have served in congress and two were appointed to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Throughout the metropolitan area, state-supported colleges and universities combine with private institutions to offer exceptional choices for higher education with a reasonable commute.

Lifestyle
Home to Lebanon, “The Antique City of the South,” Wilson County is a favored destination for bargain and treasure hunters. Large flea markets and a popular outlet mall for factory-store discounts add to the selection of merchandise. Watertown is the Home of the Original Mile-long Yard Sale, and plays host to several excursion trains from Nashville each year. Cheering on the Cumberland University athletic teams, playing 18 holes of golf on a championship course, or sailing on Old Hickory Lake are other popular pastimes for Wilson County residents.

Two Tennessee state parks are available for swimming, hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, camping, and fishing. Local parks also invite walking and picnicking; although the Jimmy Floyd Family Center is ideal for playing racquetball, working out, swimming, and indoor walking. One of the more recent attractions to the county scene is “Monster Racing” at Nashville Superspeedway, named for the Monster Mile in Dover, Delaware. The speedway accommodates crowds of 50,000 or more for a variety of exciting auto racing events.

Rich in history, Wilson County is home to the historic village of Fiddler’s Grove, where more than 30 restored or replicated buildings offer a living museum of life in the 1800s. The former Castle Heights Military Academy and its beautiful grounds offer another fine museum in Lebanon. Balancing the well-preserved treasures from yesterday is today’s youthful and progressive attitude. The communities of Lebanon, Watertown and Mt. Juliet — along with Wilson County — have been recipients of the Governor’s  prestigious Three Star Award for their economic and community development. Planners and residents work together, united by a shared desire for a high quality of life.

The housing selection throughout the region is both diverse and attractive, from beautiful older homes graced by mature foliage to new suburban communities like Rural Hill or Green Hill just outside of Mount Juliet. Sprawling horse properties, cozy bungalows in the heart of town, beautiful country manors, and executive homes on oversized lots are just a few of the possibilities. From the twinkling stars in a country sky to the international stars in Nashville’s performing arts venues, Wilson County offers the best of all worlds.

The historic, bustling town square is the site of a famous battlefield but also a showcase of antique shops and boutiques. The city claims one of the nation’s outstanding private liberal arts institutions, Cumberland University, as well as the University Medical Center for leading-edge healthcare. Local parks offer playgrounds, sports courts, picnic areas and trails.

Just 12 miles outside of Nashville on Interstate 40 is the welcoming small community of Mt. Juliet, situated in close proximity to two recreational lakes. Old Hickory Lake on the Cumberland River and J. Percy Priest Lake on the Stones River ensure world-class fishing as well as a kaleidoscope of water sports. Both lakes provide marinas, boat docks, boat ramps and recreational facilities with beaches. Locally, wonderful parks provide a wealth of amenities that include first-rate playgrounds and sports facilities as well as an amphitheater for outdoor concerts, plays, and special events. The convenient location to major Interstate and commercial transportation facilities make it ideal for businesses and industries that rely on tourism or distribution of goods. Rapid growth in the city and the surrounding area has given birth to lovely residential enclaves like Green Hill, adding attractive subdivisions to the wealth of housing options. In the decades between 1980 and 2000, Mt. Juliet was the fastest-growing city in Tennessee. While further expansion and development is expected to continue at a rapid rate in the Mt. Juliet area and  in Wilson County, both residents and planners are determined to preserve the close spirit, friendliness, and hometown feeling that make this area so appealing.
