Foster Falls in Tracy City is a short hike down a steep, rocky trail and across a wooden bridge. It's so peaceful that if you're there during the week, pack your lunch, bring a hammock, and take a nap or read a book to the sound of a waterfall. If you are into more historic dining, head to Tracy City and experience their 100+ year old Dutch Maid Bakery.

Downtown Murfreesboro is a fun place to visit that's in our hometown. This is the historic courthouse clock.

Southridge Trailhead at the Murfreesboro Greenway is a scenic trail to visit. Make sure to go after a heavy rain if you want to see the river at its best! Lots of great spring flowers, too (not pictured).
