We're one of the most popular recreational and retirement communities in the United States.

Spring
In the spring wild flowers paint the picturesque hills and valleys of Hardin and McNairy counties. The rich soils of our farming community makes this beautiful river valley the garden spot of Tennessee.

Fall
The magnificent bright colors of the hill side trees gives you the feeling of being in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Shopping
One of the largest, most modern Wal-Mart facilities was recently built in Savannah.

Caves
Carved out by the Tennessee River, caves are located in the Northern part of the county. The Indians used these caves as dwellings. The Confederate soldiers used them during the civil war to manufacture gun powder. Sulfur was found throughout the caves and was the main ingredient in explosives during the war between the states.

Country star Daryl Worley, native son of Hardin County, hosts his annual Tennessee river run in Pickwick in the month of September. This 3 day event consists of a golf tournament, fishing tournament, 5 K run, motorcycle poker run, and his famous country music concert.  The concert features different music stars and legends each year. All proceeds benefit the Daryl Worley Foundation Inc. serving the needs of Hardin and McNairy counties, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, LeBonheur Children's Medical Center and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Shiloh National Military Park
Southwest of Savannah was the scene of the first large scale battle of the Civil War. On April 6-7 1862, 110,000 Union and Confederate troops fought near the Tennessee River. The Union victory was costly for both sides; one out of every five men were killed or wounded. More information about Shiloh National Military Park.
