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.

Also in Leiper's Fork.
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.
Leiper's Creek Gallery.
Lisa Fox's gallery of paintings by about 26 artists, 17 of them local, in a 1953 Gulf station on Old Hillsboro Road. It turned 25 this October, and the Lawnchair Theatre is out back.
Patina Home & Garden.
Antiques, linens, home goods and garden things from the designer Brooke Giannetti and the architect Steve Giannetti, in the village's 1914 general store since October 2022. Fox and Locke opened their first store in this building in 1947.
David Arms Gallery.
The painter David Arms's own gallery, which he calls the Studio in Leiper's Fork: his originals, and notecards, glassware and books made from his work. In 2024 he moved here from the barn a few doors away where he had opened in 2011, into a building he designed, with back windows over Leiper's Creek.
Fox & Locke.
The store Jack Fox and Martin Locke opened in 1947 and moved into this building in 1955, Puckett's Grocery from 1960 to 2022, and since then a meat-and-three, grill and music room under its founders' names again. Bands play Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, and the Thursday open mic draws songwriters out from Nashville.
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.
The Country Boy.
The diner Rosalie and Donley Mealer opened across the road from the grocery in 1968. It closed in 2022 when its septic system failed and reopened under Johnny Weber and Cam Harrington late in 2023, serving breakfast and lunch every day and dinner three nights, with the Tornado Room in the basement.
The Tornado Room.
A cocktail bar in the Country Boy's basement since 2024, down a stair on the outside of the building, with bourbon and rye, two free sets of music a night from Thursday to Saturday, and a fire pit out back.
