BILLY TRIPP’S MINDFIELD

Brownsville has an architectural wonder that will baffle tourists expecting to see only the shack of blues legend Sleepy John Estes. The large steel structure, is just blocks from the town’s main square and county court house. It is the product of one William Blevin “Billy” Tripp, who is as important to Brownsville’s history and creative spirit as Sleepy John is. Tripp's creation began more than 25 years ago and grows bigger and more intricate every year. It's a complex assemblage of steel girders and scrap metal. It is the tallest work of art in Tennessee. It began as a way to contain the junk in Tripp's yard but has since taken on a life of its own. Tripp says the Mindfield will be finished only after he dies and is interred in his creation. “It’s my cemetery now,” he says. “It’s my grave marker.”

HAYWOOD COUNTY,

TENNESSEE

Haywood County started as agricultural county and still leads Tennessee in cotton production. Haywood County has grown from its first settlement in 1821, and was officially separated from Madison County in 1824. It was named in honor of Judge John Haywood, who was a Tennessee Supreme Court Justice from 1812-1826. Brownsville became the county seat on October 16, 1824 and the fifty acres that comprise the public square was deeded for $1.00 by Thomas Johnson. The county has a population of 18,240 according to the 2010 census, and now features a new megasite by Ford that will lead to a future that will fuel tremendous growth in the population, retail and other types of industries. https://bhcchamber.org/history/
