The flourishing community of Lebanon has preserved its small-town atmosphere and architectural charm in spite of rapid growth and development.  Well known as an antique center and headquarters of Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, the city boasts a strong manufacturing base including Dell Computer.  Low property taxes, beautiful homes, quality schools, and outstanding transportation networks have made Lebanon a popular choice for newcomers.  The historic, bustling town square is the site of a famous battlefield but also a showcase of antique shops and boutiques.  The city claims one of the nation’s outstanding private liberal arts institutions, Cumberland University, as well as the University Medical Center for leading-edge healthcare.  Local parks offer playgrounds, sports courts, picnic areas and trails.  The new Jimmy Floyd Family Center adds an exceptional recreation and aquatics facility to the unlimited outdoor adventures available in this region.
