Bluegrass music is often played at the grist mill in Cannonsburg. Murfreesboro’s Cannonsburg represents approximately 100 years of early Tennessee life from the 1830s to the 1930s. Within the Village is a gristmill, school house, telephone operator’s house, the University House, the Leeman House, a museum, a caboose, the Wedding Chapel, a doctor’s office, a general store, a blacksmith’s shop, a well and other points of pioneering interest.Chattanoogans who travel to Nashville know that Murfreesboro is almost there. Many people over the years have chosen to stop and put down roots there in recent years, however, as the city has been one of the fastest growing in the country over the last several years.
Located in the center of the state, it has become home to the Spring Fling, the annual event that helps determine high school champions in all spring sports.
