🇺🇸 Celebrating 2 Years of the Freedom Silo! 🦅Can you believe it has already been two years since the incredible Freedom Silo mural was completed right here in Tiptonville? 🙌✨
Standing proud at 90 feet tall, this historic 1965 concrete grain elevator was completely transformed in August 2024 by the phenomenal father-son duo, Farley and Andrew Lewis. Designed in collaboration with Raine W. Clotfelter, the mural features a stunning American flag and a soaring bald eagle—perfectly reflecting the local spirit and the 90 eagle nests surrounding nearby Reelfoot Lake. This area is officially the “EAGLE CAPITAL OF TENNESSEE “.
Over the last two years, it has truly become a shining beacon of patriotism, small-town pride, and community legacy in Lake County!
📍 Where to find it: 201 Carl Perkins Parkway, Tiptonville, TN
🍦 Pro-tip: Grab an ice cream cone at Tennessee’s oldest Dairy Queen right next door, or head down the road for a famous catfish dinner at Boyette's Dining Room!
