Located south of Nashville on the Natchez Trace, Leiper's Fork is a small village that offers, according to their website, "a rural atmosphere and charm of a country life." A Registered National Historic District, Leiper's Fork was settled in the late 1790s and gets its name from the family who settled most of the land beside the creek that runs through the village.
The village's main street (above) is only a block or two long, and most of the buildings contain art galleries, antique stores, and other shops. The village still has several examples of 19th century architecture that was popular in the area at the time. There are also several horse farms in the area.
Tomorrow we'll look at a popular Leiper's Fork gathering place.

This seems to be a nice place for someone have a walk along the main street... nice buildings too.
E sua escrita, como vai?
That looks like the type of place we enjoy, and we've never been there. It will be a definite must-see the next time we visit.
Thank you so much for your sweet message...we will definitely have a TN get-together sometime in the near future!
