Cream City Ice Cream shop located in the historic portion of downtown Cookeville.Cookeville, Tenn., is the hub of the upper Cumberland region. It’s also a mountainous community that locals say has perfect seasons and a collegiate environment.
Tennessee Tech University helps the community offer a wide array of arts and cultural experiences, including a secret playhouse and gallery shows. And three lakes offer a fisherman’s paradise.
The west side of downtown Cookeville is a hip shopping destination. Stroll through Dogwood Park and catch an outdoor concert. Then cap off the night with local cuisine.
