Small town charm west of Nashville
Charlotte might have fallen just a few votes short of becoming Tennessee’s state capital in the 1840s, but that loss was a victory in disguise. “It’s a very unique community. It’s the seat of Dickson County, but not the most populated part of Dickson, which makes it very distinct,” says Amanda Bell, a Realtor with At Home Realty, who’s made over 40 sales in Charlotte. “It’s growing. They got some chains, but they also got the greatest little Amish store. It really has that small-town feel to it. A lot of their stores are mom and pops, locally owned. So, I think that also adds to the appeal.” One of the town’s main attractions, the old Dickson County Courthouse, sits at the center of the historic Charlotte Square, and up until 2020, was the oldest venue of its kind still in use in Tennessee. The old courthouse is one of many buildings within the square that dates back to the early or middle part of the 19th century. Others include the red and white colonial building that houses the Charlotte City Hall and the old Mallory and Leech General Store. Fronted by eclectic hardware like rustic wheelbarrows and an abandoned wagon wheel, this mercantile store maintains its authentic look thanks to owner Willie Speight, who’s undertaken restorative efforts to preserve the store's lettering. Advertising its sale of dry goods, groceries and hardware, this sign harkens back to Charlotte's humble beginnings. “Dickson’s been growing into a good-sized town, so Charlotte’s been a hot point,” adds Josiah Overholt, a broker with Baker Brokerage, who’s made over 20 sales in Charlotte. “It still has a small-town feel. Most of it is very pretty, and it’s got a cattle farm.”
The tree-lined streets of Historic Charlotte’s Square offer residents a quiet oasis.

Ranch-style houses on spacious rural lots
Lush multi-acre lots exist on Charlotte’s north end, complete with long gravel driveways and extensive ranch-style fencing that encloses properties. Between expansive swaths of farmland and woodlands, residents will find both ranch-style homes and farmhouses. For smaller lots on the town’s southern end, Old Columbia Road features extended driveways that lead to brick ranch-style homes adorned with mature maple and pine trees, and the occasional flowerbed. Many homes both within and right outside of Charlotte feature price points between $290,000 and $500,000, depending on factors like size, acreage and condition.

Jams, syrup and farm-fresh milk at the ‘Amish’ store
The quaint historic Charlotte Square is home to institutions like Cafe Gilly, which sits just between the old mercantile and City Hall. Here, the regulars can get anything from whipped cream topped coffees to oven-fresh cinnamon rolls or large cookies. To the west, Laredo’s Mexican Grill serves-up margaritas and plates of meat alongside cheese-topped nachos. The Tex-Mex restaurant isn’t far from Sweet Charlotte, a gourmet popcorn store that is housed in a rustic venue, complete with blue-painted picnic benches where patrons can enjoy their treats. Along Tennessee State Route 48 is a community staple: Murphy’s CB Foods. Since the 1970s, residents have flocked to this small store to pick up fresh cuts of meat and produce. Further down Route 48, the Country View Market, or the “Amish store,” as many here call it is another go-to spot. This family-owned bulk-foods store's inventory includes locally-made jams, maple syrup, homemade desserts, farm-fresh milk, butter and even Amish-made swings and benches. Many also enjoy this store's freshly made sandwiches. “It is kind of a destination spot,” Bell says. “There’s people who’ll stop in. They’ll go to Charlotte just for that Amish store.” The Kroger in neighboring Dickson provides another local grocery option.

The Charlotte Festival and annual celebrations in neighboring Dickson
A few days before the start of fall, many head to the historic square for the annual Charlotte Festival. Activities start early in the day like a pancake breakfast put on by the Charlotte Fagan Community Church. From there, folks then line up to watch the parade before spending the rest of the day enjoying live music and sampling options from the many food vendors. Later in the year, come December, the square also hosts its annual Christmas on the Square event, which includes a tree lighting ceremony. Nearby, the neighboring community of Dickson, offers another destination for yearly events and celebrations. As Charlotte’s larger neighbor to the south, Dickson holds the Old Timers Day Festival in May. A tradition since 1958, the festival also features a parade, vendors and live music. Past entertainment has included street corner bluegrass acts and parade cars driven by clowns.
