James D. Vaughan Southern Gospel Music Museum - Lawrenceburg, TN

The glorious history of Southern Gospel Music comes alive in the James D. Vaughan Museum in historic Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

The museum honors the "Father of Southern Gospel Music", James D. Vaughan, who sponsored the first professional southern gospel quartets, established the first southern gospel magazine, recorded the first southern gospel quartets, established the first southern gospel music radio station, and taught the South how to sing with the renowned Vaughan School of Music.

The United States Congress has declared and recognized Lawrenceburg, Tennessee as the Birthplace of Southern Gospel Music.

Beginning in 1911, Vaughan began holding a regular music "normal" school in Lawrenceburg to train shape note singing school instructors. These instructors then fanned out across the country teaching the Vaughan method to the nation.

James D. Vaughan published millions of shape note songbooks from this building on the Lawrenceburg Square. The Vaughan music enterprise included music publishing, songwriting, radio and famed Vaughan School of Music, all headquartered on the public square in historic downtown Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

One of the best of the Vaughan Quartets included Palmer Wheeler, Keiffer Vaughan, John Cook and "Big" Jim Waits. This group also included the legendary Dwight Brock on Piano.

Always the pioneer, James D. Vaughan put radio station WOAN on the air in 1922. Two tall towers dominated the Lawrenceburg Skyline for nearly a decade. WOAN was the first radio experience for many of the early southern gospel music legends.

The glorious world of Southern gospel music comes alive in the Vaughan museum, named for the founder of the popular music form.

Davy Crocket State Park

David Crockett - pioneer, soldier, politician, and industrialist - was born near the little town of Limestone in northeast Tennessee in 1786. In late 1816, he moved to Lawrence County and served as a justice of the peace, a colonel of the militia, and as a state representative. Along the bank of Shoal Creek, in what is now his namesake park, he established a diversified industry consisting of a powder-mill, a grist-mill and a distillery. All three operations were washed away in a flood in September, 1821. Financial difficulties from this loss caused Crockett to move to West Tennessee where

he was elected to Congress. While in Washington, he fought for his people's right to keep land they had settled on in the new frontier of West Tennessee. Crockett died at the Alamo Mission in March of 1836 while aiding the Texans in their fight for independence from Mexico.

Dedicated in May, 1959, in honor of one of Tennessee's most famous native sons, David Crockett State Park is located on U.S. Highway 64 in Lawrence County, one-half mile west of the city of Lawrenceburg.

David Crockett State Park is also a sanctuary. Here, you will be able to enjoy many varieties of plants and animals. Known throughout Tennessee are the Deer families and bird varieties that live and breed within the safety of the park.

Programs and Activities:

A park naturalist and recreation director are on duty throughout the summer months. Both provide a variety of planned activities and programs including guided tours, organized games, arts and crafts, historical demonstrations and presentations, campfires, movies, slide shows, hayrides and more.

The park naturalist operates the Crockett Museum where milling demonstrations are presented during the summer months. The museum exhibits depict the life and times of Crockett as a pioneer, soldier, politician and industrialist. There is no admission charge to the museum. There is a large Amphitheatre located in the park as well to host a variety of plays, congregations, wedding ceremonies and many other activities.
