Though not far from Nashville, much of Wilson County is picturesque country. PHOTO: JOE LINK
The eastern neighbor of
sprawling Davidson
County (Nashville),
Wilson County retains
much of its good
farmland but with
subdivisions and small
farms playing a more
prominent role now. You'll
see plenty of cattle and hay in the county. Small goat
and sheep flocks abound, as you would expect with so
many small farms. Two major highways pass through
the county, making commuting to work easy. It's also
attractive to industry: Dell Computer, Bridgestone and
Cracker Barrel all have major installations here. Families
are moving in because the schools are so good.
Fair Attraction: The Wilson County Fair
draws about 420,000 people through nine days each
year, starting the third week of August.
Land Prices: They're all over the map, with
highs of $8,000 to $10,000 an acre on the Nashville
side while land farther east goes for $2,500 to $3,000.
