About Historic Watertown
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.
Historic Watertown opened the Atwood Welcome Center in 1995. The 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.
We all have affection for the town we grew up in or have adopted as our own. We want you to share in Watertown’s success by becoming a member of Historic Watertown, Inc. You can download a membership form above to get started. Also, please join us for our monthly meetings – Historic Watertown, Inc. meets the first Friday morning of each month in the Watertown-Wilson County Library. Watertown is "Right on Track" and "Still Rolling Ahead" – and we’d like you to join us for the ride.
