We’re forever looking for deep ties to the past – whether it’s in an old movie, a handful of photographs, a light dress from the vintage shop down the street. TB Sutton Store is located in Granville, Tennessee and is precisely the special place from the once-was that you’re looking for. Care to explore it with us?

Springfield TN - TripAdvisor Take a walk inside, and you’ll be treated to one of the most beautiful expositions of an old time general store in the state. There’s hardly another place so well preserved, and with such historical integrity.

TB Sutton - TripAdvisor The building was then bought by the Sutton family, who ran the darling store until the late 1970s when it was shuttered. The place was reopened in 2008 and has since turned into one of the most well-known music venues in the area.

Ronnie Reno & The Reno Tradition - TripAdvisor You come here for the music of your childhood, the music you want your children to remember. The twang of the TB Sutton General Store is one that you’ll care to revisit, again and again.

Ronnie Reno & The Reno Tradition - TripAdvisor The general store has turned into a tourist attraction, but of the best kind. The remodeled space now serves mainly as a music venue. The shows are taped for the radio, just like the Grand Ole Opry. It’s given bluegrass musicians quite a bit of exposure across the state.

Aaron Bernhardt - TripAdvisor Southern meals are served up family style, before the radio show. You don’t go hungry here in Tennessee, y’all!

Aaron Bernhardt - TripAdvisor This really is a sweet place, Granville. You’ve created something absolutely darling and special. Volunteer-run and supported, we’d recommend coming out to support the small space or maybe look to book a show for yourself. They have a solid calendar, though - so don’t wait!

Aaron Bernhardt - TripAdvisor Visit on Saturday for a family-style dinner, or check out the store from Wednesday - Friday10-3 or during the day on Saturdays beginning at 10am. Not open on Sunday though, folks - you have a church to attend to!
