Watertown Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 8 photos

Watertown ,Tn.

Watertown was our destination on our train ride from Nashville. Along the way the train was stopped and robbed by desperados colleting money for tthe Sue Tally scholarship fund. After arriving n Watertown we were entertained by the outlaws,saloon girls and other old west folk who stayed in character the whole time we were there. They were shooting blanks but the firearms are authentic.

What fun! I took the "Murder Mystery Train" to Watertown for the Music and Arts Festival (formerly the Jazz Festival) just this past July. Good times!
