What it’s like
The place. Walnut Grove sits in Sumner County, Tennessee, where winters are colder than in most of the country, with highs near freezing-cold days in January and summers that are hot and sticky. Snow is light, but rain is frequent enough that the land stays green through most of the year. Across Sumner County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and home values run well above those in most of the country, while fewer residents live in poverty than in many parts of the nation.
Work. Across Sumner County, many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in manufacturing. Unemployment is low and was a little higher this year than last, while the number of jobs grew slightly over the past year. A modest share of residents work from home, so most people still make a regular trip out to their jobs.
Things to do. For a short outing, Bledsoe Creek State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and the Red River is a river also a short drive away. For a longer trip, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum a longer drive away, and it is one of the best known places on the list.
