TIMS FORD STATE PARK

jetski.jpgJust West of Winchester off Highway 50 is Tims Ford State Park. One of the most accommodating parks in Tennessee. There is over 400 acres of family fun including bicycle and hiking trails, a huge ultra modern swimming pool, secluded cabins that feature fireplaces, and developed campsites for the outdoor crowd.
The park operates a marina that includes a snack bar, bait shop, and fish-cleaning area. The marina also provides equipment and supplies for boating and fishing, a boat-launching ramp and dock.
There's something for everyone at the park and it is quickly becoming the talk of Tennessee.

CRIMSON CLOVER

Crimson Clover was first planted in Franklin County, Tennessee in 1892 by Mr. John Ruch of the Belvidere Community. He received a peck of crimson clover seed (regarded as a soil building legume) from Commissioner Essary of France. Possibilities of the crop were not realized until ten years later, in 1902 when Lee Ruch decided to seed a field of crimson clover again. In the following years crimson clover was grown extensively here and seed was sold on a large scale.
