Leipers Fork, Tennessee is a darling town of quiet nights and country music, meat & three at the local restaurant and a couple of kids making their way down the dusty, Middle Tennessee road. We’re positively in love with this little place, tucked away behind Franklin and Nashville, beautiful and primed for your Saturday afternoon.
The town boasts a small downtown that's complete with a sweet general store, Puckett's for your lunchtime meat-and-three, and a bunch of antique stores so you can take a bit of this small town home with you.
Curious where the name came from? Leiper was the last name of one of the men who helped found Nashville. He scouted out the fork in the river that became the home of Leipers Fork.

Leipers Fork was home to quite the community of moonshine brewers back in the day. You can still find ruins of the stills tucked back in the rolling hills.
