The cozy, down-home atmosphere will make you feel like a local as you fuel up for a day of exploring.
Shopping
After breakfast, it’s time to indulge in some shopping. Downtown Lawrenceburg is home to an array of unique boutiques and antique stores. Begin at Miss Millie’s for chic home decor, then pop into The Company, Resplendent, and Gigi’s Boutique for stylish women’s and children’s clothing. Don’t miss Paper & Thread for charming stationery and cards, perfect for gifting or adding a personal touch to your correspondence.

Top it off
By midday, dive into Lawrenceburg’s rich history with a visit to either the Old Jail Museum or the James D. Vaughan Museum. The Old Jail Museum offers a glimpse into the area’s law enforcement past, while the Vaughan Museum pays tribute to the “Father of Southern Gospel Music.” Afterward, take a stroll to see the David Crockett statue, standing proudly in the square, and snap a photo at the vibrant Wave of Lace or Nicho of the South murals.
