Hohenwald at a glance

Founded in 1878, Hohenwald later merged with New Switzerland, a town settled by Swiss immigrants in 1894 along the N.C. & St. L. Railway. Today it is the county seat of Lewis County, home to about 3,670 people at roughly 978 feet on the western Highland Rim. Nashville is about 72 miles away by road, or about 60 by way of the Natchez Trace Parkway, which passes east of town near the Meriwether Lewis site at Grinder's Stand.

US 412 and state routes 20, 48 and 99 carry traffic in and out. Downtown holds City Hall, the Lewis County Museum of Local and Natural History, and the courthouse and rail depot, both on the National Register. Single-family neighborhoods surround the older downtown, and wooded rural land stretches out beyond them.

No hospital in the county, and what that changes

Lewis County has clinics and a nursing home but no hospital. In practice, that means more medical emergencies, and more deaths, happen at home or on the way to care elsewhere. Families here may be left with bodily fluids in a bedroom or a vehicle after an ambulance has come and gone, and that is exactly the kind of situation we help with.

Hohenwald also has a working industrial side. Major employers include metal and fiberglass manufacturers and a travel-trailer builder, and the Tennessee College of Applied Technology - Hohenwald trains students nearby. The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, the largest natural-habitat elephant sanctuary in the country, is here as well.
