Manchester: Coffee County Seat and Bonnaroo Host
Manchester is the seat of Coffee County in south-central Tennessee, sitting near the fork of the Little Duck and Duck rivers along Interstate 24. The town was named in 1836 after Manchester, England, reflecting the hope of its early boosters that it would develop into a textile manufacturing center. That industrial ambition never fully materialized, but Manchester did grow as a market town for the surrounding farmland and as a rail stop on the line between Nashville and Chattanooga.
Great Stage Park, a 700-acre farm just outside town, hosts the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival each June. The festival launched in 2002 and draws tens of thousands of attendees for four days of camping, music, and performance art on what is otherwise a working cattle farm for the rest of the year. Bonnaroo has a measurable impact on local lodging, fuel stations, and restaurant traffic along the I-24 corridor, even though most attendees camp on site and bring most of their own supplies.
Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park preserves a 2,000-year-old Native American ceremonial earthwork at the fork of the Duck and Little Duck rivers. The site, built by Middle Woodland period peoples between roughly 30 and 430 CE, consists of walls of stone and earth enclosing a 50-acre plateau. Mississippian period occupants later used the area as well. The park includes hiking trails along the rivers and past several waterfalls.
The Arnold Engineering Development Complex at Arnold Air Force Base, a few miles east near Tullahoma, is a major employer for the area. The facility operates wind tunnels and propulsion test facilities used by the Department of Defense and private aerospace contractors. Manchester itself supports the typical county-seat functions: courthouse, hospital, regional schools, and a commercial strip along Highway 41 and Interstate 24 exits.
