Leiper's Fork

This is one of the oldest American villages on the Old Natchez Trace. Originally "Bentonville," it was founded by Thomas Hart Benton's mother and grew around a store, a log school and church. Experience the community's historic architecture and modern charm, where a fine art gallery sits beside a grocery store that moonlights as a music venue. This special place is home to farmers, talented artists and musicians (yes, some very famous) who appreciate its down-home feel. Please note: Shops in Leiper's Fork village are closed Mon. Restaurants are open daily.
