Gallatin Information & Real Estate
Gallatin is a city in Sumner County, Tennessee. The population was 23,230 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Sumner County. The city was named for U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin. Gallatin was formerly the headquarters of Dot Records, and is home to Volunteer State Community College, the largest 2-year college in Tennessee.
Old Hickory Lake has hosted several major national and regional championship bass tournaments over the past few years...including Wal-Mart FLW, Everstart, Bassmaster Megabucks, BASS Tennessee Eastern Invitational, Super Bass Classic National Championship and Bass Pro Shops Crappiemasters National Championship.
You can bring your own boat and use one of the many public boat ramps in the area.......or rent a canoe or pontoon boat. Or you might want to rent jet-skis. It's a great way to explore the secluded coves of the lake, have a fun day on the water.....and perhaps stop to have a picnic. There are many gorgeous lake homes on Old Hickory Lake. Private docks are permitted in certain areas of the lake.
There are several day use fee areas located at Cedar Creek, Laguardo and Old Hickory Beach. Each area offers swimming, sandy beaches, restrooms, picnic tables, grills and launching ramps. Many areas offer sand volleyball and fishing platforms. You can reserve a shelter for a family event and some areas even have kitchen facilities.
I always enjoy watching the sailboats. Bank fishing areas with fish attractors and accessible fishing piers are located at Rockland, Sanders Ferry, Shutes Branch and Bledsoe Creek State Park. Old Hickory Lake is home to Black Bass, Largemouth Bass, True Bass, Striped Bass (Rockfish), Sauger and Crappie. Just be sure you have the required fishing license, which may be purchased at any County Clerk's Office as well as many commercial establishments.
This great lake offers eight commercial marinas offering services for visitors. Anchor High Marina, Drakes Creek Marina, Creekwood Marina, Gallatin Marina, Old Hickory Marina, Shady Cove Resort, Cedar Creek Marina, and Cherokee Resort. Old Hickory Lake also hosts a number of Sail-Boat Regatta’s throughout the year.
Gallatin Real Estate is in the Sumner County School district and offers some of the best ranked schools in middle Tennessee. The Gallatin area also provides a number of Private Schools.

Fairvue Plantation, a stately, Georgian-style mansion built in 1832, is the Grande Dame of a signature golf course community in Gallatin, Tennessee. Once one of the finest homes in Tennessee and now a National Historic Landmark, Fairvue Plantation gets its name from its idyllic promontory atop a broad hill that overlooks 2,000 lush green acres. The plantation built a grand reputation as “the finest sporting estate in the world” with an active outdoor agenda of thoroughbred horses, polo and fox hunting. Its reign continued until the Great Depression.
