Hillsboro-Leiper's Fork Community Center

Williamson County's recreation center in the village, in the old Hillsboro school: a gym, a wellness room, classrooms, a walking trail, youth baseball fields and a playground with a pavilion. The school opened as a private academy in 1890, burned in 1930 and was rebuilt in 1931, and the county made it the community center in 1998.

Landmark

Leiper's Fork Historic District.

The village on the National Register: three blocks of houses, churches and stores from about 1830 to 1935 north of Old Hillsboro Road, listed in 1998, and the 4000 block of the road itself, added in 2012 with the grocery that is now Fox & Locke, the Country Boy and the gas station that became Leiper's Creek Gallery. About 40 acres, free to walk.

Restaurant

Crown Winery Leiper's Fork.

The Humboldt winery's tasting room on Leiper's Creek, which opened in May 2021 as Wines in the Fork in a former music-memorabilia shop. Wine by the flight, glass or bottle, slushies and cider, and seats in the creek itself.

Shop

Tennessee Turquoise Company.

Vintage silver and turquoise jewelry, most of it made by Native American artists and bought from dealers in the West, sold from a cabin that holds four customers at a time. Morgane Stapleton opened it in July 2019, and every sale supports the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center.

Event venue

Lawnchair Theatre.

A screen and a lawn behind Leiper's Creek Gallery where the village brings its own chairs, for free summer movies and ForkFest. Who runs it is not published, and neither is the 2026 film schedule.
