With rolling hills, historic turn-of-the-century buildings, working farms, and front porches with rocking chairs, welcome to Leiper’s Fork, a small rural village in Williamson County, Tennessee. 

Preservationist Aubrey Preston shares how he stumbled on this rural community in the early ’90s and helped launch one of Tennessee's first land preservation campaigns. 

Hear about the sense of belonging and creativity that makes this place so special, plus fun things to do in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee, and how it became a cultural and musical hub welcoming thousands of cultural tourists every year.
