Tennessee is full of small towns that are full of just as much history as they are charm. But there’s one small town in Southwest Tennessee that stands out, and that town is Savannah. Not only is it the catfish capital of the world, but it’s also home to some incredibly unique history, including history from the nearby Civil War Battle of Shiloh and history of the Tennessee River on which the town sits. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to spend a Saturday this Fall, look no further than Savannah, Tennessee.
