Savannah: Hardin County and the Tennessee River
Savannah sits on the east bank of the Tennessee River in Hardin County, West Tennessee, and serves as the county seat. The town was founded in 1833 and has a population of around 7,000. The Tennessee River is wide here after the dam at Pickwick Landing downstream, creating a long reservoir used for barge traffic and recreation.
Shiloh National Military Park lies about 10 miles southwest of Savannah, across the Tennessee River on the Pittsburg Landing bluff. The April 1862 Battle of Shiloh was the costliest American battle up to that date, with over 23,000 combined casualties across two days of fighting between Union forces under Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate forces under Albert Sidney Johnston. The National Park Service operates the battlefield and visitor center on the original ground, and the Tennessee River Museum in Savannah contains additional exhibits on the battle and the broader river history.
Cherry Mansion, a Greek Revival home overlooking the river in downtown Savannah, served as Grant's headquarters in the days before the battle. Grant was residing at the home and eating breakfast when word arrived of the Confederate surprise attack on the morning of April 6, 1862. The house remains a private residence but is visible from the public riverfront.
Pickwick Landing State Park, located at the dam about 15 miles south, draws anglers for its catfish and bass fishing. The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway connects here for commercial barge traffic. Savannah's economy combines tourism tied to the battlefield and river, agriculture across the rural county, and a few manufacturing operations.
