Leipers Fork Village

Today, Leipers Fork is the area of choice for families wanting a rural atmosphere and charm of country life near Nashville and Franklin.

Leipers Fork is a Registered National Historic District and contains some of the few remaining examples of late 19th century architecture once characteristic of villages in Williamson County. A historic homestead is preserved as an environmental learning and "personal development" center -- GoodWorks.
