Winchester is a city in Franklin County, Tennessee.

Get in[edit]

Nashville is the cheapest way, it is a 2 hour drive and has many flights all around the country. Chattanooga is another alternative and is about 1 hour away. It is a small airport with small planes flying to about 7 hubs, but that is it. Huntsville Regional is a 45 minute drive South down a few country roads.

Get around[edit]

Your best bet is to rent a car at the airport, but it is possible to walk a couple of areas.

See[edit]

  • Franklin County Old jailhouse - A museum of the first jail in the county.
  • Tims Ford lake - Huge lake known throughout Tennessee. It is big and has watersports.

Do[edit]

Tims Ford Lake! Rent a boat or jet skies or go swimming at a beach.

Buy[edit]

Many Dollar Generals and a Wal Mart!

Eat[edit]

Pretty much every restaurant is a chain (especially along Dinah Shore Blvd. and College St.), but Skips Grill on David Crockett Highway offers short order variety and non-chain taste.

Sleep[edit]

Best Western, 1601 Dinah Shore Boulevard.
