Marshall County

Marshall County is an administrative region in central Tennessee with Lewisburg as its county seat. The Duck River flows through agricultural lands that form the foundation of the local economy.

The county was established in 1836 and named after John Marshall, fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This choice reflected the founders' respect for judicial leadership in the young nation.

The Tennessee Walking Horse breed developed here, shaping how locals view their land and heritage. This connection to horses remains visible in the landscape and in how the community takes pride in its equestrian history.

Lewisburg provides administrative services, schools, and shopping centers for residents across the region. The area is easily accessed by car, with most facilities located in or near the town center.

The annual Goats, Music and More festival celebrates the local fainting goat breed found nowhere else. These unusual animals remain an agricultural tradition that draws visitors from across the region.
