The small community where the Walking Tall story began.
Finger sits at the northern edge of McNairy County on the US-45 corridor, and it holds a special place in the county's most famous story: Buford Pusser was raised here before he became the sheriff the world knows from Walking Tall.
Today Finger is quiet farm country — but for Pusser pilgrims tracing the real story from beginning to end, it's the starting point, with the museum in Adamsville and the county's historic roads completing the trail.
