1. Clement Railroad Hotel Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 33 reviews
State Historic Site. Education. Events. Tours. Venue Rental. Membership. Community Center. All at the heart of Dickson. The Clement Railroad Hotel Museum's museum is to explore and celebrate the innovative leadership and values that have shaped the community, and to provide educational opportunities which connect the past to the present and enhance the quality of life. The Hotel Halbrook, the home of the CRHM, was constructed in 1913 and is one of the few remaining examples of a railroad hotel in a small Tennessee town. It functioned as a working man's hotel until 1954.

Lived in and around dickson for years, but I never visited here until recently when I had to take my daughter to her music class held inside. While waiting we walked around and looked at the displays, and I was honestly surprised how interesting it was. There are a lot of things from the old days of travel such as wardrobe suitcases, train schedules, and other things. Upstairs is a large working model train set. Everyone should check it out at least once. It doesn't take long and is quite interesting.

Regarding the Inn, it was quite a disappointment. It's in disrepair (see photos), and if you like to swim, be forewarned, the pools are bad news: run down and grimy (including the beach, the outdoor pool, and the indoor pool). The food in the restaurant is blah at best. I wondered aloud to a staff member if perhaps funding had been cut for state parks but she said no—that in fact, they'd just bought new mattresses. The bed WAS good, but overall, the room was neither horrible nor pleasant. It felt dirty, like the housecleaning had been rushed. I usually find the best in all situations but it was difficult at this inn, especially seeing as how the rate is roughly $100 per night.

Small store that sells bulk items, base ingredients, spices, cheeses, and meats. All the stuff you need for gourmet cooking without the ridiculous pricing. Plus the kinds of canned jellies, honey, apple butter, picked foods, and deserts you come to expect at a Mennonite or Amish store.
