Rural community in Tennessee’s smallest county
Hartsville provided the backdrop country artist Trace Adkins needed when he filmed the video for “Heartbreak Song.” Several people here also say the town inspired the title of the Joe Nichols hit “Brokenheartsville.” Located about an hour from the Music City, Hartsville occupies the smallest county in Tennessee. Recognizable sites include the historic courthouse square and a water tower showcasing the town’s name painted across a red heart. “It’s a very rural community where they love their football and their high school football team. They’re kind of off the beaten path a little bit because they’re not really close to an interstate,” says Jason Crosslin, a broker with Keller Williams Realty. “I’m not going to say it’s like Mayberry, but everybody — if you’re from there — kind of knows everybody there.”
Hartsville business district is situated along the Goose Creek in Trousdale County.
The Trousdale County courthouse was built in 1901 in Hartsville.

Craftsman bungalows, ranch-style houses and new Traditionals
Acres of farmland dotted with cattle surround this town of nearly 12,000 people. Craftsman bungalows, ranch-style houses and newly added Traditionals make up much of the housing stock here. “Things sell quickly because people like the mall town atmosphere,” says Hannah Marcellino, the owner of Hartsville-based Whimsical Flower Farm. “There are so many farms, and then there’s the quaintness of the water tower with the big heart on it. I can see how driving through it [the town] can grab people’s hearts.” Most single-family homes in Hartsville cost between $120,000 and $450,000, and the town's median sales price is approximately $370,000, which is below both the Nashville and the national medians.
Craftsman bungalows are spread throughout Hartsville.

Hartsville’s coffee shops, downhome cooking and diverse cuisines
Eateries and shops occupy the vintage brick buildings around the courthouse and Dillehay’s Cafe is one of a few staples serving downhome and classic American comfort foods here. The town also has three coffee shops as well as Farmer's Harvest, a casual spot serving farm-to-table fare. Hartsville Foodland and Piggly Wiggly are two of this area's grocery stores. “There’s some neat little diners there to eat at,” Crosslin says. “And it doesn’t have a Walmart — just to tell you how small the community is.”
Dillehay's Cafe offers a classic country cooking to it's patrons in Trousdale County.

Fishing and boating on the Cumberland and Trey Park fun
Goose Creek snakes through Hartsville and flows into the nearby Cumberland River. One of Middle Tennessee’s major outdoor destinations, the Cumberland is known for its fishing and boating activities. Kayakers and other avid boaters can access the river from a point near the Hartsville Access Area. The town’s green spaces include Trey Park, where attractions include a skatepark, community pool, baseball and softball fields and a vast playground. In the early 2020s, the state awarded funding to Trousdale County as part of a multi-phase plan to improve the park.

Notable landmarks here include the private Trousdale Turner Correctional Center and the canceled Hartsville Nuclear Plant site. Although the project was aborted in the 1980s, one of the built cooling towers remains visible from a distance.
