Being located next to the Cumberland River and having access to Old Hickory Lake, while also still having many shopping and restaurant options is what makes Gallatin a preferred place to reside in Sumner County. Locals love spending their time outdoors on the water, watching silent movies at the Historic Palace Theatre, and participating in local events like the Fire on the Water Music Festival. Being the home of Volunteer State Community College and so many recreational options, Gallatin is a great place to raise a family in a small town setting.
