A small county with one government
Moore County was created in 1871 and is Tennessee's second-smallest county by area. Lynchburg became its seat in 1873, and today the two are governed together as the Metropolitan Lynchburg/Moore County government, with boundaries that match the county's. The 2020 population of about 6,500 counts everyone in the county.

Lynchburg sits in the valley of East Fork Mulberry Creek, part of the Elk River watershed. Its downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Lynchburg Historic District, around the 1885 courthouse and the 1893 jail, now a museum. The Jack Daniel Distillery draws a steady stream of visitors, even though Moore County remains a dry county, and Motlow State Community College's campus lies in the north of the county.
Roads, farms and what we are called for
State Route 55, Majors Boulevard in town, is the main road through Lynchburg, and SR 50 and SR 129 meet it just south of town, heading toward Fayetteville and Petersburg. Tullahoma is about ten miles away, and Shelbyville, Fayetteville and Winchester are each roughly fifteen miles off.
Most of Moore County is rural and agricultural, so many needs involve farmhouses on septic, barns and outbuildings with rodent or animal waste, and homes where a person lived alone. In Lynchburg, visitor-facing businesses around the square and along Majors Boulevard can call after restroom incidents, injuries or other contamination.
- Houses and storefronts in the historic district
- Farms, barns and rural homes countywide
- Businesses that serve distillery visitors
- Schools, churches and campus buildings
How we serve Moore County
Moore County is served by our mobile service from the Nashville area, not by a local office. Call 615-513-5112 at any hour, and we will talk through the situation, explain the scope and then plan the drive. On site we use containment and protective equipment, remove materials that cannot be cleaned and disinfect with EPA-registered products per label directions.
When a death occurs at home, official release by the medical examiner or police comes before our work. Neighboring counties are covered too, including Coffee County around Tullahoma.
