Happy Labor Day, everybody!
Apparently, once a month on a Saturday morning, the locals gather on the east side of the square for a swap meet. I was just there for a photo of the courthouse, but I did buy an old green soda bottle off the table in front of the maroon car.
The Hickman County Courthouse is located on the town square in Centerville, TN. This is the 5th courthouse in Hickman county and a new one has opened not far from here. It was built in 1926 and is a two story brick building with a full basement.
On the day I'm writing this, I've been through Centerville four times in the last five years. 5 years ago, I stopped only to get a picture of the Minnie Pearl Statue which was new at the time.
On my second visit in the summer of 2008, the statue had become a controversial topic, as too many people were stopping in the town square to get a picture, like I had, and were impeding traffic. By the time I made my 3rd visit a year later, the statue was gone and the traffic pattern of highway 48 and highway 100 was updated from going all the way around the square to just on the west side.
One more Centerville note, in less than a month, On October 1st will be the National Banana Pudding Festival.
