What it’s like
The place. Sequatchie is a very small community in Marion County, Tennessee, where most people know the neighbors by sight if not by name. Homes here are typically worth more than the county's lower household incomes might suggest. Winters are cool, with only a little snow, and summers run hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, the building trades and shops. Across Marion County, the biggest workplaces include Marion County Schools, Lodge Manufacturing and Komatsu America. Unemployment across the county has held roughly steady over the past year, and the number of jobs has barely changed.
Things to do. The Little Sequatchie River runs in or beside town, and the larger Sequatchie River and Nickajack Lake, a reservoir, are a short drive away. Nickajack Cave, a protected area, is also a short drive off. For a longer outing, Ruby Falls, a waterfall, and the Tennessee Aquarium are both a longer drive away.
