Thanks for visiting the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce's web site.  We hope the information you find here will convince you to come see us in Lawrence County whether you're considering a new business or just a great place to visit.

Lawrence County, Tennessee is centrally located in the eastern part of the United States, placing manufacturers within a day's drive of most customers.  Industry has prospered here over the years due to the location, low operating costs and solid work ethic of our people.

Over 30 percent of our labor force work in our diverse community of manufacturing companies, making products such as lawn and garden equipment, automotive parts, printed cartons, industrial racks, cheerleader uniforms and caskets, to name a few.  A large nationwide apparel distribution center here is testimony to the great location and network of modern highways serving the area.

Supporting the industrial community is a talent-laden pool of service industries with expertise in tool and die, industrial automation and robotics.

Travelers seeking an "off the beaten path" destination with fascinating glimpses of our nation's heritage will find Lawrence County an ideal place to visit.  David Crockett called Lawrence County home and a beautiful state park here bears his name.

Visitors love to see the Old Order Amish community in north Lawrence County where residents live 19th Century lifestyles and open their farms (except on Sundays and holy days) to those interested in buying their baked goods and handicrafts.

Lawrence County is also the birthplace of Southern Gospel Music and visitors to historic downtown Lawrenceburg can see where it all began at the James D. Vaughan Museum on the Square.  The downtown area also has a David Crockett statue and cabin and one of the only two Mexican War Monuments in the U.S.

In addition to the year-round attractions, Lawrence County plays host to festivals and celebrations practically every weekend from May to October with events such as the Summertown Bluegrass Festivals, Loretto's Oktoberfest, the south's largest Antique Tractor Show, the Middle Tennessee District Fair, the State Championship Barbecue Cook-off, the James D. Vaughan Homecoming Singing, the Heritage Festival, David Crockett Days - the list goes on and on. It's a great place to work, live, raise a family, do business or just pay a visit. Contact us at the Chamber and let us help you plan a trip here - or perhaps a stay of a more permanent nature. Randy Brewer, President
