If you’re a big fan of the sweet and quiet, you’ll fall in love with these Tennessee towns. This is where a handshake is all you need as a contract, where you’ll find folk that simply love their city and home community, and yes – church is a must on Sundays.
- Bell Buckle

- Athens
J. Stephen Conn - Flickr The county seat of McMinn County has a darling downtown and a community of folk that absolutely adores visitors. We have to say: Athens is positively fantastic when it comes to friendliness. We’ll visit any day!
- Leipers Fork
Tommy John - Flickr Located just outside Franklin, Tennessee, Leipers Fork has a couple hundred people and a whole mess of rolling, green hills and horse ranches.
- Columbia
Wikipedia You’re looking at an hour from Nashville, but Columbia has the prettiest sights we’ve seen this side of the Mississippi.
- Linden
Wikipedia The city was incorporated in 1850, and the population is solidly under 1,000. It may be small, but their character is pretty dang big. Their art and historic district is the sweetest thing, and you’d fall in love with a single visit.
- Church Hill
Wikipedia As one of the biggest towns on our list, with a couple thousand, Church Hill manages to keep the down home sweetness of a small town and it makes it so endearing. We love this little haven.
