MURFREESBORO, TENN. - Pioneer Days was this past Saturday in Rutherford County. The annual event was held at Cannonsburgh Village on Saturday (April 22 2023). Both young and old enjoyed browsing for handmade crafts, jams and jellies, food trucks, hayrides, music, a car show, and clogging by local cloggers.

In addition to the music, crowds seemed to really take a liking to the blacksmith shop, where blacksmith demonstrations took place – thanks to the Rutherford County Blacksmith Association.

Historic Cannonsburgh Village represents approximately 100 years of early Tennessee life from the 1830s to the 1930s. Within the village is a gristmill, school house, a telephone operator's house, the University House, the Leeman House, a museum, a caboose, the Wedding Chapel, a doctor's office, a general store, and a blacksmith's shop.
