Located just a short drive from Franklin, TN and nestled in the south west corner of Williamson County, lies the village of Liepers Fork. The area was originally settled in the late 1700's by folks from North Carolina and Virginia who had received land grants as payment for their service in the Revolutionary War. Originally, the village was called Bentontown named after the Benton's who purchased the land from the original owner. After a brawl and gunfight in a Nashville Hotel with General Andrew Jackson in which Jackson was seriously injured, Thomas Hart Benton and his family moved to Missouri. Benton later became a Senator from that state and was largely influential for the development of the west. After the Benton's left, the village was renamed to Hillsboro as many of the original settlers were from Hillsboro, North Carolina. Hence for all the locals, the name of the highway, Old Hillsboro Pike. 
Located just a stones throw from the Natchez Trace, this early trade route helped stimulate the economy of this region. Leipers Fork is listed on the National Register of Historic places as an Historic District many of the buildings can be traced back to the late 1800's.
Leipers Fork is far from being just a wide spot in the road. There is something happening almost every weekend. Oh, did I mention arts and crafts? Yup! They've got 'em and antiques too! And they'res some of the finest eatin' places you can imagine. The many eateries feature great Southern cookin'; like good 'ol cornbread and pot roast or if your tastes are a little more 
refined, try the grilled Atlantic Salmon. And with so many folks from the music industry living in the area, the entertainment is par excell-ont, like we say down south. You never now who may pop in at one of the local events.

You never now who may pop in at one of the local events. So if you're wanting a nice quite ride through the country far from the hustle and bustle of city life, take a stroll back in time, or just want to git out and "Git the stink outta your britches" like Granny used to say, C'mon down and set a spell here in Liepers Fork. Y'all be glad you did...
Have a great weekend, Y'all... 8-)
