As Whitwell is Nestled between two mountain ranges, this old mining town has grown
very slowly in the Sequatchie Valley, but many who live in and around Whitwell prefer
to call it 'God's Country'. It is very desirable being out in the country and still have the
amenities of the larger cities. The Churches are abundant and School life here is second
to none. Our very own Whitwell Middle School was responsible for putting together the
Children's Holocaust Memorial and Paper Clip Project that became very famous the
world over! There was even a movie called 'Paper Clips' made about the school's project!
Even though Whitwell has been around since the 1800s, the town was officially established
and incorporated as The City of Whitwell in 1956. Whitwell also has its own
sister city in Derbyshire, England, and you can visit that website at Whitwell.com.
Whitwell is also the proud home of the Marion County Veterans Memorial Parklocated
at the entrance to Whitwell's Ball Park, and also home to the Civil War Dinner Theater at Buttonwillow Church. Click Here now for more information on this great family
experience of great Southern Food and where American History comes alive! Another
great attraction to visit just 5 minutes down the road from Buttonwillow is the
wonderful Coal Miner's Museum which showcases many of the coal mining artifacts
that helped to shape the history of our surrounding area.
Whitwell has become a town that deters any type of growth, because the
citizens here prefer Whitwell to stay as a small town flavor, yet have the amenities
of the big city closeby, and they aim to keep it that way, sooooo...
When you're in Whitwell, YOU ARE IN AMERICA! GOD'S COUNTRY!!!
