Tates Crossing Flag Station

Tates Crossing Flag Station near Mt. Juliet, Tennessee was in use from 1870 until 1935. During those 65 years, it was owned by two different railroads, the Tennessee and Pacific Railroad and the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad. It was closed because a new railroad was built right beside it that went a farther distance. The old railroad was removed and is now a street called Division Street or Old Railroad Bed Road. In 1992, Dean Robinson gave the station to the West Wilson Historical Society. N. C. Hibbett, Thebart, Evelyn, and Jimmy Powell restored it in a total of 417 hours of labor. It is the only known station still in existence in the Middle Tennessee area. The West Wilson Historical Society donated it to Fiddlers Grove in 1998.
