History of Tullahoma
Picture taken at Natural Springs
"In the area surrounding what is now known as Tullahoma, there
was evidence of Indian villages dating before the Revolutionary War.
Historians have noted that the area was very desirable as a hunting ground for the Indians. Tullahoma, Tennessee, is currently the only city in the world bearing that name, but this wasn't always the case. In the early 1800's, there was a small settlement in Mississippi named Tullahoma. When that community
decided to improve its resources by joining forces with a neighboring town, they discarded the name "Tullahoma" and gave the larger town a new name. A short time later, a small group of those Mississippi townspeople from the
original Tullahoma decided to migrate north to Tennessee. They settled in an area near the Cumberland Mountains where there was a plentiful water supply including therapeutic mineral springs. When it came time to identify their new town, they decided to use the name of the former Mississippi hometown that was at one time called Tullahoma - the Indian word meaning"red earth."
A bit about me, Micki. Living on a creek has always been my dream! We had looked for creek property for over 20 years and had finally given up. I wanted to be able to sit on my back deck and actually see the creek. One day my husband, Charlie, comes home and says I want to take you somewhere, he had never given up! He drove me to a place I was somewhat familiar with. We got out in the middle of a farm and started walking down a hill. When we got to the bottom there it was, A BIG beautiful creek! Well that was it, we started negotiations and a few months later it was ours. The thing is hardly anyone even knew you could see a creek from the property because it was so immensely overgrown. We worked and worked with the help of a few choice friends and today we have what is known as Rock Creek Springs aka Critter Creek. It is my dream to be able to share this property with you on your special day!
