A Weekend in McNairy County
History at Shiloh, mornings on Pickwick Lake — and small-town evenings in Selmer.
History at Shiloh, mornings on Pickwick Lake — and small-town evenings in Selmer.
West Tennessee's quiet corner holds one of America's most moving battlefields, one of its finest fishing lakes, and a small town with a big story. This guide — kept by the folks at Southwood Inn in Selmer — helps you plan the trip: what to see, how long to stay, and where to rest your head.
Walk the ground where the Battle of Shiloh turned in April 1862 — visitor center, driving tour, the Hornet's Nest, Peach Orchard and Bloody Pond.
Bass, crappie and catfish, boating, a lakeside state park, golf and the great TVA dam — about 25 minutes from Selmer.
The county seat's local eats, the Walking Tall story of Sheriff Buford Pusser, and the slow evenings that make a trip feel like a visit.
Short on time? Our ready-made itineraries cover a one-day Shiloh trip, a two-day history-and-lake weekend, and a fishing weekend on Pickwick. Coming for an event? Check What's On — the Shiloh anniversary each April and Pickwick's fishing season draw visitors from across the country.
