A fact book around for when you need it This is my home. Todd County — and my hometown of Allegre — is the place I tell people when they ask where I’m from. Now, mind you, they sometimes say, “Where’s that?” and I give them the general directions we all have given from time to time when telling people where Todd County is located ... • Hour north of Nashville. • Near Ft. Campbell. • Garden of Eden. Still, often people ask me to tell them about Todd County, and being the smartin-heimer that I am, I tell them there is no explaining Todd County, you have to see it for yourself. There are rolling hills that some mornings, when the sun is just right, that will take your breath as the light starts to beat through the fog. RYAN CRAIG — Publisher There are the fields of wheat and corn that will make you think you stepped into one of those scenes they play on TV during the 4th of July celebrations while fireworks and “America, The Beautiful” boom in the background. There is the history: Robert Penn Warren and Jefferson Davis and don’t forget Donnie McGehee. (If you don’t know who Donnie was, then go down to Helen’s Place, look at the wall and stay for some pickin’ and dancing.) There is the way of life here that can only be felt and never explained. There are also the sacred spots those of us who grew up here — and even those who went away for a time — can sit and enjoy, some time on their porch or in a backyard swing, and take in the beauty, the pace of life and be just fine. Still, there seems to be more on the horizon for Todd County. With huge industrial opportunities both near and in this county, there is a chance that when I (or whoever) write this column for the next fact book, I might have to first mention the tremendous growth — especially in the southern part of Todd County. While all of that and more may happen in the years to come, right now Todd County is a peaceful place full of people who are kind 24/7 ... .Ra Rain or Shine .. . . Your local, independent agent will be there. 270-265-9811 knucklesinsurance.com com and good and know what it means to put in a hard day’s work. The purpose of this book is two-fold: It will be to sent to all postal customers in Todd County and it will also be given away to the cities and the county in hopes it helps lure people to this area and its different tourist draws like the old courthouse/museum, Robert Penn Warren birthplace and Jefferson Davis Historical Site. So sit back and enjoy this book, but also set it somewhere, and when you need information about Todd County, before you strain to find it on the Internet, be sure to check this fact book and you will be surprised by just how much information we have assembled about the place we love.
