A history of big ideas.

Fentress County is filled with the reminders of heroism and history—a history of shared dedication to success. A strong belief in education drives economic development in Fentress County today, much as it did in the days after World War I, when the American hero Sergeant Alvin C. York returned home to build a school that would create opportunity for the entire county. Stunning natural beauty and a convenient location call people from across the world to visit—and as a result, many people stay. Businesses based on quality and craftsmanship carry on that vision of success.
