Walter Hill

Take W. Main, right on Broad Street, right on US231 North, right on TN-266 to the village (8.41 miles)

Walter Hill, once called Blacks Cross Roads, was named for storekeeper and postmaster Walter Hill in 1895; he simply gave his name as the postmark. Earning its place in 20th-century technology, Walter Hill became the site of the county’s first hydroelectric plant, built on the Stones River by the Tennessee Electric Power Company in the 1910s. Turn right before the bridge to enter a park by the dam overspill.
