Historic District Information<\/a><\/p>\n

Since 1991, we, in cooperative efforts with the City of Watertown and the Watertown-East Wilson County Chamber of Commerce, have made great progress. Past major projects include having the Watertown Square placed on the National Register of Historic Places, commencing work on a Railroad Park, establishing a railroad siding and lighting, and restoring our Town Square with sidewalks and lights.<\/p>\n

Historic Watertown sponsors the Big Hill Challenge the second Saturday in June each year. \u00a0The ride offers a 16 mile, 1\/2 metric - 30 miles, metric 62 miles, and century-100 mile course through the scenic and rural country side.<\/p>\n

Historic Watertown opened the Atwood Welcome Center in 1995. \u00a0The displays in the Archives, located in the Welcome Center, offer insight into the town's military, business, and educational history. The Welcome Center also offers convenient restroom facilities for the town's visitors. Historic Watertown continues to maintain the Welcome Center and make additions to the displays. If you have any pictures that you think would be appropriate for display in the archives please contact 615-960-5869 or email Historic Watertown: Historic@WatertownTN.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
