The closest Tennessee town to Shiloh National Military Park — and a character all its own.
Michie sits in southeastern McNairy County on Highway 22, which makes it the natural gateway for the thousands of visitors heading to Shiloh National Military Park each year. Stop here for gas, a meal, and genuine small-town Tennessee before or after the battlefield.
Michie has its own stories too: the Old Monterey Trail, a self-guided Civil War driving tour, winds through the back roads near town, and on Friday nights Lamb Ranch fills with line dancing and country music. Small town, full calendar.
